Interview feedback from client (honest or just being polite) ?

I think you need to change you username IMO.

Maybe a prefix of "notcutouttobe"?

Why don't you simply ask the client if it would make any difference if you could start sooner?

If they start making other excuses about why they don't want you, then it was obviously you, not your notice period.

If you are that worried about it, then do this. If not, chalk to up to experience etc. etc. and move onto something else.

A four week notice period might be a problem, though, regardless.

Harsh but fair

I say go for it, hand in your notice and start applying, the worst that will happen is you will spend all your warchest while failing interview after interview. This will knock your confidence so you won't be able to get a lowly permie job once you are skint.. then as you are evicted or house is repossessed you end up on the street giving 5 pound BJ's to just buy some smack.

Get a contract then walk, just tell existing co that you were approached for the role and would really like to do it.
Depends on what co is like after that, some will try to play hardball, most will let you go because you can just go sick if you need to and start at the other place, there is very little they can do apart from give bitter reference and virtually everyone is scared to do this.
You will be burnt there so make sure that isn't a concern.

Oh - and discard any and all interview feedback. most clients don't even bother they just say no, agent will try and placate by making it nothing you can do, like availability, just missed out to chap who had been there before blah blah.
If you don't hear back, it's a no, don't bother chasing.
They won't say you were rubbish due to stroppy people starting a row when they hear that, you would do the same in their position.
