Lack of work during contract

[NotAllThere]

I've spent most of my contracting career doing it the other way round - billing £100k for £30k worth of work. ...

So you consistently undervalue yourself.

@Cleatus - thanks, noted. You are not as hillbilly as you look!

I've spent most of my contracting career doing it the other way round - billing £100k for £30k worth of work. Client miscalculations have helped keep me off the bench for most of the last 27 years.

Care to give more details on that nomadd? How does it work.

Which is the professional equivalent of fraud.
When word gets out that you pull that kind of crap any sensible client will chuck you off site immediately, refuse to sign timesheets and tell all their mates that you're a shyster.
As contractors professional integrity is tricky enough to keep with the ratbags that will just up sticks with no notice for 20p a day extra, when scumbags big up a job they deserve to be caught out at it.
Unless of course you're just lying in which case why troll the professional forums?
