Once we've got you a gig do you want us to do the work for you as well?

Over qualified = Could do the job but to much trouble to mange.

As long as you are cheaper than me and I get to keep a margin.

can't see that, somehow, since you don't appear to have much of a clue what you're doing.

Completely agree. I am possibly running 2-3 ideas at the same time, thanks for the nudge.

Best to think through your ideas about how you post as well.
It doesn't look good if you like to include your CV or your skills in posts. Some might think you were spamming the forum to try to get your company name out there.

(treat that as a polite warning)

A quick update. The Client Head of Business contacted me over LinkedIn and asking for a chat. I feel they are keen to have me to oversee a project in a SME capacity. This is the same Client whose feedback was I was over qualified. Do I mention this to Agency or Go Direct ?

depends what commitments you've made to the agency.
Have you made any? What do they say?
If they say you can't go direct to client A for 6 months afterwards then you should talk to the agency.

No commitments. Nothing. They arranged an interview and nothing signed. We both were confident it will be a success, may be over confident. Agency never came back as some other feedback here that they don’t like people who fail interview. However agency in known in field / sector. Worth checking with Client first what they specifically wants and circle back via Agency as a courtesy?
