War chests

[gingerjedi]

being totally serious - for example I recently blew £650 on a night out with a friend - that's the kind of stupidity that needs to be brought under control if I'm going to have enough breathing space to fully exploit my plan b ideas

Feck me, I bring tea bags into work to save a few pennies.

WHS, PMs @ 200p/d??

I only usually go for 450+ The lowest PM role I've seen was for a local authority for 300p/d.

I said no cause a) rate is way to low for a PM and b) don't want a local authority on my CV c) I'm not desperate, desperately bored yes, but not financially desperate.

That said, I think the role was pretty decent..

Well you and that other PM nunce are benched, as are zillions of other PMs and PM wannabees. To be a PM is easy. 1 week Prince2 course and some bull on the CV fixes it. And these wannabees will take 200/day just to get experience. Either things need to pick up quickly or you face many futile months trying to get 450/day, before caving in to a insult level rate just to keep your head above the water.

I'm not a PM but you are talking out of your arse. It takes a whole lot more than a PRINCE2 qualification to make a good PM. The tulipe ones get found out.

Assuming "that other PM nunce" is me, I strongly suggest you don't make assumptions about people - it makes you look an even bigger cretin than you probably are. I won't try to explain what my company does since you clearly don't have the intellectual capacity to understand...but it is far more than what you understand as project management. Oh, and nor am I "on the bench".

But do carry on making silly assumptions and talking nonsense about things you clearly know nothing about - 'tis good to have a laugh.

war chest should see me through 12 months.

But hopefully I do not have to dip into it when switching over to plan B 100%

And that would be ?

We are still in stealth mode so mum is the word.

Don't even have a website up. By choice.
