Contract Opp - good rate and no interview needed

BUT.. the location sucks, probably 1.5 hours ish door to door, public transport and driving in rush hour.

What would you do and how important is location to you vs. contract availability in the New Year?

Public transport is fine if there are no changes otherwise you risk missing connections, and public transport will screw up at least twice a week.

Driving isn't as if you decide to do it every day there is guaranteed to be accidents at least twice a week.

I've never done both - either drive all the way or take public transport.

Personally I would spend one or two evenings a week in a hotel/lodgings, and I've done this a few times.

IMO even if there is a possibility of WFH or flexible times make sure you nail the gig in the first month or two first. On time, don't use the flexibility or WFH if poss. Prove to them you are the man for the job and are totally dependable and trustworthy and after that they won't give a jot where you are or what you do, you have their full confidence and will never be questioned.

I've always thought that in the past. Don't mention possibility of WFH or flexibility at interview cos it'll just put client off. Nail the gig first and then work on it.

But Im coming around to the idea that its a two way street and if WFH/flexibility is a show stopper for you then why not mention it.

To be honest, Ive found that most clients its either a no way or yes we dont mind anyway so why not find out at the interview stage so you know the full deal?
