What a result!

Well done OP. I've got a hunch you'll make a successful contractor.
Have you purchased the obligatory contractor's Porsche?

Porsche? I know Osbornes got it in for us but it can't get that bad surely?

Firstly, congratulations and welcome to contracting.

Secondly, Its not as rosy as you think so save as much as you can.

Thirdly, Finance is in a tough position at the moment whether you choose to accept it or not.

Fourthly, Big changes are coming for one man band ltd companies. Be ready for it. Someone has to pay for an upcoming campaign in Syria.

Lastly, Enjoy and see you at some point on the inevitable IB cuts rates by 10% thread.

Some will sprout on about ‘being a specialist’ - all bull. If the client is looking for a certain skill set and you can fill that skill set then that’s what matters. I am a BAPM with a technical development background and excellent business knowledge. This is what the client wanted. Knowing the right people also helps

All bull, from people with many more years experience than you?

What is a BAPM, never heard of that role, did you make it up?
What is the actual role you ended up doing is it a BA or PM role?

a few loudmouths

Read you post, again, seems you are, now, giving as much attitude as you were given.

Knowing the right people also helps

So, in reality, despite playing Billy Big Potatoes, you were handed it on a plate?

Anyways, good luck with it all.

BAPM in an IB on 550, you are 10 a penny.

Wasn't SY01 a BAPM ?

I think it's a typo, meant to be BARM (cake).

Doesn't that normally pay £700 PD, in IB

Fair play OP. Well done.

I think there are some on here who have such sad lives that they really do enjoy thinking they're important.

Its human nature. I used to work as a steward in a large stadium (just so I got to see the games for free).

You could almost guarantee that the person who thought it was his mission to be the most awkward, obnoxious, and downright disagreeable to members of the public had a day job of something mundane and boring with no responsibility. Of course, give them an orange jacket and they relish the chance to show off how much power they have.

Same here - online version.
