New contract boom

16 March 2026, 17:08

Bit out of the blue, as an agent reached out to me, but it has resulted in my best day rate for a 6-month gig, 5 miles from home (closest ever gig) and what on paper is my most senior role!

An unexpected but most welcome boom :-)

Woo Hoo!
Good news. I'm also getting a surprising number of phone calls and messages on Linkedin.

Congrats. Something seems to be stirring - getting calljs and messages from recruiters multiple times a week too.
