    Nine times out of ten, no-one is going to blindly accept a substitute. Even with an interview, surely you may as well go to the open market as well?
    I think a lot depends on the specialism, type and more importantly, the size of the work an individual is providing.

    Anyway, I consider its rare for any client co to accept subbies.
    I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

      3 weeks was about it for this one, and am now 4 months through a 6 month contract. Suffice to say I shall not be renewing.

      Commute from hell, viscious horrible backstabbing environment with a mgt team who dislike WFH. All flexibility from myside went out of the window weeks ago.....but i won't quit.

        Its good, easy money and no doubt some \ many \ few will say keep on invoicing. I will until the end date then Im ******* off.

        How long is the longest anyone's gone before being pissed off with a new contract!?
        Whats the guarantee that the next contract might be ten times worser than the current
        one, and how did you manage to get into this contract was it missold by the agent/client?
