Originally posted by oliverson View PostI'm still getting a few approaches on LinkedIn, some inside IR35 that I enjoy shooting down given I'm in a long term contract. On that subject, this is proving to be the best contract I've had in nearly 20 years of contracting. The work and the people are great. Very relaxed. It's 100% remote and outside IR35. Further, I invoice and receive payment in USD, which is currently very strong against GBP. I don't contract in London finance anymore, for obvious reasons, but this set of circumstances mean I'm on £50k+ more than I was on in London and without the hassle of staying away mid-week.
Because it is North America, are you working those time zone hours. Hopefully your client is not in the San Francisco time zone (PST) (-8 hours time difference), I mean.
Anyhow pleased for youComment

You're unlikely to get lucrative contracts with overseas clients unless you're a recognised specialist and you've built a network. You may get lucky, but I mostly work for overseas clients and I've never been cold called or contacted through advertising like a website or linkedin or anything like that, only contacted through ex clients or clients or suppliers of ex clients or people I've met over the years at conferences/events etc. Without that, a tiny overseas supplier looks pretty high risk and not on the radar at all.Comment

What an odd week. Missed out on a contract that would of been perfect but managed to pick up a part-time contract that will fit nicely with the current gig.

The team are mostly UK-based but we do have occasional calls involving the US.
