Oops!!!
Thanks for the advice, I havent signed contract yet, have negotiated a start date the day after decission, but how c****y would it be of me to say no on start date??!!!
Not professional and not normally my style, but does the end goal always justify the means?
They are a very big client, so I assume if I did do this and effectively leave them in the lurch, they would 'forget' after a period of time?
Do you think the agency would keep a record of this and effectively blacklist me from future work with them?Comment

Some people will tell you that you need to look after number one, and stitch up anyone and everyone to get the better role. You're in business, so act like it.
Some will tell you that you give contractors a bad name, and once you've agreed the contract you should stick to it.

My guidelines above give you the wriggle room to get out if you want to. Particularly if you have a contact with the client - you can get your story in first, and blame the agency for not agreeing the contract with you.....Comment
