How to Measure Success as a Contractor

[Fred Bloggs]

Annoying though when women try and get you to take a permie job for 'stability' then whine when you have to tell them they can't afford things.

How true is that! But at the moment, I am seeing many contract roles where the rates are so low, you barely clear more than a staff guy, but you still have the risks and the overheads of a contractor.

For me it's all about how many of my permie friends and colleagues stop talking to me when I announce that I'm taking another 3 or 4 months off to go sailing or diving.
