Just been offered a contract less than 5 mins drive away from home paying £35/day more than current contract. Not quite as much as the £85/day extra previously offered (where's Bolshie) but this time it is a 6 month contract. Just awaiting start date confirmation and then will hand in notice.

Right. So very roughly, you're 50 quid a day down on the deal plus you turned down the extra 85 quid a day job because you thought you'd easily get one paying a lot more than that?Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View Post
You're right, BOOMED!
Good luck btw.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

Had other interview offers in banking (think big bank in sheffield) paying a fair amount more, but I accepted this one due to it being so close to home and freeing up my time so I can enjoy other things in life. I am good at what I do (even if I do say so myself) so the rates are there it's just whether I am willing to travel or not.Originally posted by BolshieBastard View Post
Also cheers for wishing me luck.Comment

I agree with you, you have to factor in quality of life and the cost of travelling when looking at the rate. So you are £50 down on what you could earn, but how much of that £50 would be lost to travel expenses and commuting time. Congrats.Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostComment

Well done fella. That's how I tend to think of contracts, more money isn't always better.
