To be honest, last gig was public sector too. It wasnt that bad but could be a hectic.
To be honest, Im too old to be working my nuts off doing 15 hour days anyway. Not interested in that.
My aims these days are interesting work, decent people, minimal stress, close to home.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Of course, employers NI, and plenty of tax and NI. BUT, client added £100 to the rate to compensate....
So at the moment, the government is giving me an extra £100 a day and then taking it back off me in tax.

If they'd been cleverer or wiser they could have saved themselves a fortune. After all, cut my rate by £50 and tell me its now inside IR35 and I'll be over the moon. Everyones happy....
Fully expect that will happen at some point...Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Of course, one drawback of this type of client is that they aren't in any rush at all to get me doing anything. Does my chunk in after a bit mind. Theres only so much documentation etc you can read.
Saying that I've been at clients where its taken a week to get a PC/login/desk so I cant complain too much.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
