    I normally go for new tech/skills and less pay, hence why I am usually always skint!
    As with everything, it depends.

    If the difference is not huge (say 500 per day VS 600 per day) and my warchest is in good shape, then I'd pick the new tech.

    If the difference is much bigger (say 400 per day VS 600 per day) and my warchest needs replenished, then I'd pick money any day of the week.

      Working on my one line macro has kept me gainfully occupied for 18+ years. Why would I change?

        That sounds like a quote that could have come straight from Simon Dolan at SJD back in the old days!
