            I'd stick to JSA if I were you. You appear to know more about that than contracting.

              Not a good idea, I believe that PC and NLUK are like matter and anti-matter, if they met then mutual annihilation is assured (probably not a bad thing were it not for the small matter of them taking most of the UK with them)

                Jesus wept. Are you even capable of taking a tulip without asking every man and his dog for advice? What a tedious, orally flatulent idiot you really are.

                  There must be some point where a tulip gig is so tulip that you won't just keep plodding along.

                  It is a complex calculation obviously:
                  1) Pretty tulip, great rate, decent people, decent location, no warchest ==> Keep invoicing
                  2) Deep steaming tulip, crap rate, winkers, miles from anywhere, healthy warchest ==> on your bike

                  I like this calculation, I think we can throw "Relationship with client" in there as well. I am at renewal time now and there are better offers on the table, but I will drop my client in the Tulip if I leave.

                  Plus 2 years Warchest? Really. Wow.

                  6 months is my aim. I think if I can't find a gig after 6 months I am in the wrong game.

                    But Kenders can't resist the pull of their wanderlust!!!

                    This is will vary from person to person. For some it is the absolute basics to stay afloat which could be as little as £1500 a month or keep them in the luxury they currently enjoy so two years could be anything from £36k upwards. Also depends on where people store their warchest. Not everyone leaves it in the company so this could be personal savings and empty company rather than all in the company.

                    6 months is my aim. I think if I can't find a gig after 6 months I am in the wrong game.
                    Seems reasonable, again, with your own level of what you need per month...
