Humph :-(

I've a reasonable chance to get a decent role in IB stuff on Canaray Wharf... but the cost of living close enough makes the rate (£400) look a bit mediocre (I figure I'm down to £300 tops after accommodation & transport) and I can't see the point of going to work in London if I don't get a ton of cash for it. I suppose getting an IB gig would be good for future gigs... but only if I continue to work in London long-term :sick

Get the Wharf News, lots of cheap apartment in Canaray Wharf as banks handed back their rental to landlords. Stay/work in Canaray Wharf reduced transport cost.
 
I know I should be happy, I've landed a lovely shiney new gig, just been granted my security clearance status today, and am working for my current client right up until the day before my new gig starts.....

However I have the screaming humphs :(

I dont want to move to stupid London :(

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<chucks ball out of cot>

Wait and see, you can never be sure how it will work out.

Have you worked in London before?
 
Well done on getting a new contract!

I know what you mean about London though. It is mainly for the tube that I do not like it. Plus the soot and filth gets to me. I have spent most of the morning scrubbing the window sills, skirting boards and floors trying to get all the black dirt out. It collects so quickly! Argh! :emb I really need a contract so I have less time to notice it.

I am sure I would love it more if all my friends were down here especially as there is so much to do.
 
You can join us down the pub on Thursdays for the cuk social

I sympathise, I moved out to the sticks from London but still have a 4 hour round trip every day to the city, am still stuck working here but not living.

where are you going to be based?
