    Nice to see nothing has changed at Barclays

    Hybird working at Knutsford, long list skills and experience required. 340-360 a day inside.

    Erm, no thanks.

    Don't you know that there's a 'skills shortage' ?

      And a high likelihood of a rate cut somewhere down the line. They did me twice in one of my stints there, so I left shortly after the second one.

          Was there twice back in the day and both gigs ended prematurely.

          Only decent bit was the 10min commute home.

          He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

          I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

            only hilarious thing to come out of that site is the tennis court incident from about 25 years ago!

              I imagine they still have the 'No notice period on your side' as in you can't give notice and leave early. They put that in 15+ years ago to stop everyone using it as a bridging gig and then just leaving the minute they got a better one.

                These rates look like something from 25 years ago!
                Add non-recriprocal notice and this is taking the ****.

                  Yep and at least 25 years ago it was outside. That rate is equivalent to 55k with zero benefits. I'd imagine the equivalent perms are on, or close to that... but that said I could be wrong.

                    It wouldn't surprise me if the permanent staff are on more..
