    Contracts like buses....

    Whys chosing a contract so hard.....I mean it should be easy. Most money wins.....

    This is going to take a while.


    Contract 1: Business Analyst
    Rate: X
    Loc: Sheffield
    For: 22 weeks

    Not in an industry that I want but the contract is longer and it pays more. However no contract has any guaranteed lengths etc.


    Contract 2: Data Analyst
    Rate: X - 10%
    Loc: Welwyn Garden City (wonder if you can guess who its for!!!)
    For: 12 weeks (chance of extension)

    Going back to a Coy I did work for a year ago (different department). Loved it get to see the project I started to completion (sort of). Get to travel alot of eastern Europe. Reckon the lack of rate could be made up as a lot of travel means no miles for me and hotels paid for by client, other role have to pay for this out of the rate.

    If you don't "need" the extra cash it sounds like your swaying towards contract 2

    Nice to be in the position of being able to pick and choose though

          After talking to the company secretary (my mum ) decided on contract 2. Got into this game to work abroad a bit more which is what it will let me to do. Still 12.5% more than my last gig so we are all happy.

              Don't go near Sheffield. A classic example of why immigration should stop.

                Aye, far too many soft southerners nowadays.

                  Southern Asia and Africa maybe.
                  Just 10 years ago Sheffield was almost a decent place to live

                    Ah, so you'll be importing all the eastern European cabbage for us, then.

                    Have they not got enough drivers over there any more?
