Working from home

[oracleslave]

how many w@nks per day would you say you have, working from home?

What he wanted to know was how much you could earn working from home. I was saying the market has two levels. Rate depends what level you are on.

Interesting interpretation of the question

Finding a job that starts working from home on a good rate is difficult.

Only once have I negotiated spending the majority of my time at home whilst on a good rate. Alreadypacked is spot on, cause otherwise I've never started a contract without spending the first 4 - 6 weeks on the clients site, which is all necessary anyway you need to get to know the people.

I do four days at My Co premises and one at Client Co premises.


Client Co is quite small and it helps them not to lose a desk/pc for most of the week.

i'd say w3 a day was a pretty decent day rate, though hard to keep up i guess it depends on the level of automation..

I work exclusively from home with several clients at once. I've only met one of them face to face (they are based in LA) and that was only because I happened to be travelling to the US anyway; all my clients were found and contracts sorted via email and phone.

I work on an hourly rate, mainly at £25 right now which doesn't equate to a great rate but I am working mostly on video games which traditionally pay less. I am in the process of getting another client at more like £40/hr, which would give a daily rate equivalent of £300 which I consider quite good - considering I live in north-east England.

Previous client I started out in the office 5 days a week cos I didnt know any better, by the end of the gig - 18 months later - I turned up when I felt like it and nobody batted an eyelid. They ran their main offices as a hot desking operation for around 75% of the available seats and must have been around 25% over capacity in terms of head count so if you didnt turn up really early you were in serious danger of not getting a desk. Most of the staff and other contractors I worked with worked from home most of the time anyway. Client issued you with a laptop and secure ID token to access the VPN by default so you didnt even need to request it.

Current client insists on you being on site every day, which I dont actually mind as it's 20 mins from home.

On a side note, is anyone working for the NHS CfH in Leeds atm? If so what arwe their working arrangements like? PM if you dont want to blow your cover
