The trick is to make it back quick. The longest I had on the bench was 3 months. At the end of that company year I was only £3k down on the previous year even though the day rate was the same. I just skipped holidays to make it back.

The hardest part of benchtime is what to do. I was f*** bored. I need a hobby for next time. I understand why people play golf or garden now.

As for signing on. If you're not willing to take a perm job then you shouldn't be signing on.

Definitely, for me it's running, mountain biking, photography, motorcycling - I sometimes wonder how I fit in a job
