    That's what I was wondering...
    20% lower than a 5 day week is a 4 day week.


    The questions I would ask:
    1. Can you afford to take a 20% cut (whatever you mean by that)
    2. If you can't afford it, but it is a dream contract, can you reduce your outgoings to make it affordable?
    3. If you can't afford it and can't reduce your outgoings, how do you plan to fund your lifestyle?

      Not any more I don't. Funny how a wife and kids, responsibility and working for 20 years (10 years contracting) makes you forget your own dreams.

            The contract I'm starting next week is on a project I have wanted to work on since I was a permie. Close to home and the rate is good. Closest to dream role I have ever had.

                    I assume the dream role is massaging the swedish bikini championship teams
                    Unless you're the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

                      I doubt it. Sven has to wear a bikini top because of his moobs and Bjorn wants a back/sack/crack wax and happy ending.
