Verbal acceptance of job offer

[HankWangford]

That's my opinion of letting people down at the last minute that's all.

u live once, take the money. The client will get over it and find someone else. Invent an illness, family issues.....anything, just grab the cash

If you're not going to turn up, then tell them that you've broken your leg, and so can't start for another 4 months - you'll be willing to turn up at that stage, but can't travel to Wales until then.

Or subcontract it at a reduced rate, do both contracts, and make some money off it.

Thanks everybody. You all helped me make a very difficult decision today.

I love this board x x x x

OK - end the suspense!! What did you decide to do?!!????

[Moose423956]

Would any of you who said "stick to the first contract" change your mind if the second contract was for £4k more a month?

That's not fair, you didn't mention the money. Screw the Welsh job, go for the spondoolics babe.

HTH

[SallyAnne]

I went for the spondoolics of course!! I'm a fricken contractor!!!!

tsk, tsk. Some bad karma will be coming your way. What is it, a 3 month contract? That's only an extra 12 grand. Is your reputation not worth that?




ps. I have never been in this situation so do not know what I would actually do myself, although I don't think that I would ever be in the position where I was in the runnning for two gigs where the rates are £200 a day different.




Good luck anyway. Will you still be away during the week?

No!!!!! My name is not Earl!!!! My Karma is all good, and I dont have time to make a list

Its 3 months initially, but likely to run and run. Its a much better gig - loads more fun stuff to get into, lots of new stuff too.

Yes I'm still away from home, but its only working 4 days a week so I'll get a nice long weekend.

My rates range from about £325 to £700 per day. Is nuts the Oracle Apps world.

[SallyAnne]

I'm a... permie.

Ewwww, really? You sounded so normal?
