Lloyds Banking Group Contract Roles

[flipFlop]

I suspect your top dollar and my top dollar are somewhat different as the money on offer for the techie roles is absolute tulipe.

It wasn't my top dollar, it was Lloyds's, paying via two intermediaries.

Uk / European banks seem alot MORE relaxed then US banks, now at a US bank and probably the most stressful job I've ever had, plus I went permy as well

FTFY

To bob or not to bob - that is the question...

The trick is to go direct via Bob, doing that at the moment and quite happy with rate, though know they will want to have the "permie or leave" conversation at some point, though my relationship with client is longer than my relationship with Bob so hoping that gives me some leverage.

That aside there is loads of work here at the moment, projects are being quoted a 4-6 lead time on resources.

Useful comments, thanks! 5 months on, would you say that your comment "the trick is to go direct via Bob" is still valid? Am hoping to land a contract with LBG in the near future and am thinking that maybe it's worth a try to go via a local agency that doesn't have to go via Bob (it seems from herman_g's post of 4/8 that there is a possibility, however small, of doing that) - or is LBG a "closed shop" for Bob by now?
