    Hmm. Just checked the IPSE advert with its photos. If I was still contracting I would be suspicious of such a young looking lot. Any organisation needs one or two few old farts to convey an impression of experience. Senility (and vodka) is actually wisdom you know, you lot are just too young to understand that.

        Amusing as the CC/BOD has no one under 45 and average age must be closer to 55

          I'm definitely PCG rather than IPSE but it'd be the first place I'd go if I had another enquiry.

            What about current membership? Are we mostly old?

              You need to start a new thread and do a poll.

              And no I'm not old....

                It's on the website, if a little tricky to find. Look under Resources /Membership Research /PCG Benchmarking survey. Members only, I'm afraid.

                Median age at the 2013 survey was around 48, with over 89% between 30 and 59.

                  Thanks. Just curiosity. I suppose most people work as a permie for a few years before going contracting.

                    There were about 1% of people 29 and under, and 10% of people 60+.
