Current contract due to expire in sept, been looking for 3 weeks, had one unsuccessful interview, 2nd gig i interviewed for was offered it on the spot.

New gig is 6months, highest rate I have ever had, and the closest to home I have worked in 6 years (20 mins drive)

Boomed!

This is the sort of thing I can only dream about... congratulations.

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

Perhaps they tried plenty cheapness and realised that expensive western contractors cost less.
