I don't know. My role at this place dragged on and on. I had the tech test 3 weeks before the end of my contract at JP Morgan. They arranged a face to face 2 weeks later and cancelled as I was walking into the building. They arranged another face to face on my last day at JPM and cancelled that also when I was outside their building. fas forward 3 weeks and I iventaully got to see them and agreed a contract. the original duration had gone up from 6 weeks to 6 months and my rate was increased by 125 a day. another 2 weeks went by before I could start. All told a good couple of months of faffing about!

And *that's* why banks pay a premium when they want to hire a contractor.

Earlier you claimed (to SimonMacs post) you didn't know of any possible reason why your role might be delayed/on hold/whatever. That is why I wondered if you were a troll.

Fair enough. I really have no evidence to back up my hunches so I thought best not to spout nonsense here, Do RBS & Lorien secret agents frequent this forum?

Sorry I lost the plot for a moment, Who kept canceling your meetings, was that RBS or another Bank?

Lorien tried to accommodate my diary with their timeline but only because they hoped or expected contractors to visit London for a brief technical test & again later for a competency test at very short notice. It would have been better to have combined these on the same date to halve my travel days and expenses.
