    I expect 10 hrs per day.
    Longer commute, 10 hours PD, phhht..
    HFs never seem to pay as much as a decent IB contract, probably more pressure...

    Therefore I'm out

      Why do you say so? They have bonuses if a perm job, right? What's a decent IB contract these days? Same 10 hrs.

        Eh? Who mentioned bonuses or perm?

        8 hrs PD max, unless I have something urgent to attend to.
        They are usually so slow moving I'm miles ahead anyway.

        Up to you, I like my free time .

          You'd be happy doing 10 hours every day?

          37.5 hours per week is certainly what I'm used to, everywhere I've ever worked, contract and perm has been that. Anytime I see a role advertised as 40 hours it puts me off straight away!

          Of course, I don't mind doing extra hours here and there where needed, but I won't bend over.
          Totally but the point I'm making is i don't see my daily rate being diluted based on the hours I chose to do.

            Remind me again the sequence - talk to the management then accept the offer or accept the offer anyway and then talk?

                  This, otherwise you're thinking in terms of hourly rate. You're not a shopworker are you?

                    Ebbs and flows, sometimes I have had to put excessive, unpaid, time in to deliver.
                    However, I also negotiated 1.5 day rate for any weekend work, at the same client.

                      Correct. All part of building a business relationship. I've given repeat business to tradesmen who have gone the extra mile on jobs for me.
