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.

I'm definitely PCG rather than IPSE but it'd be the first place I'd go if I had another enquiry....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

It's on the website, if a little tricky to find. Look under Resources /Membership Research /PCG Benchmarking survey. Members only, I'm afraid.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostWhat about current membership? Are we mostly old?
Median age at the 2013 survey was around 48, with over 89% between 30 and 59.Blog? What blog...?

Thanks. Just curiosity. I suppose most people work as a permie for a few years before going contracting.Originally posted by malvolio View PostIt's on the website, if a little tricky to find. Look under Resources /Membership Research /PCG Benchmarking survey. Members only, I'm afraid.
