Up to 600 USD per day i.e. up to £300 a day. Yeah, right.

When I contracted at IBM here the only project they could find for me was setting up TCP/IP for DB2 under VSE. The only downpoint, apart from not knowing VSE, was the fact it was for the Pakistani Airforce and the location just happened to be on the Afghanistan border and this was just before the whole Taliban thing kicjed off. For only €500 a day (plus spesen) I kicked it and went to Butzbach instead.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
