Contract rates

[Cliphead]

I work from my home office, near the beach, ( which isnt as ideal in the winter cos it's windy and cold ), but I do have to commute in to London sometimes. My current contract is in Ware, which is 4.5 hours train ride away! 3 trains too... each way..

I've done my time contracting in the US, Europe and south of the border. These days I don't consider any contracts further than 40mins drive / train. I'll be working from home on my next gig starting January for at least a year.

Good going. You need portfolio to be able to choose contracts, or walk in to them. So experience is everything. I've just about built up my portfolio with some big names... so here's to the future..

Always sceptical of these people (name no names) who say they earning >£500 a day for modest skills, when the stats indicate a lot lower for their skillset.

Either:

A/ They are shagging the boss
B/ They are billy bulltulipters

Eww, shag the boss? Have you seen my boss? he looks the the fat computer geek from the Simpsons.

If the money is so important to you, then you truly have a worthless life and should be ashamed of yourself.

I think this is probably the dumbest thing I've seen you say AtW.

If the money wasn't important I'd be permie.

I'm in the lower group with no chance of making it to the upper one thanks to a series of dead end roles. I would like a role which actually allows me to progress onto something else. Unfortunately all I seem to end up with are ones where they give me a little bit of work which I knock out quickly and then nothing. I can't start loading sw onto their pc to train myself in the long quiet bits either.

When I was contracting (violins) it was always 30-40 (up Norf though), although I have known the extremes of 44 and (gasp) 15 - can you believe that the 'client' used to complain that I was costing them at that!
