    Longest Break Between Contracts?

    Anyone spent more than 2 years off between contracts? Whats the average holiday here?

    #2
    5 months is my longest break.

    I think 2 years on holiday might be a tad long. 5 months however (over the summer) is a decent amount of time to have off as a holiday. Still leaves enough time to earn £50K, which is enough to cover my £12K mortgage remaining.

    Which was nice.

          23 Months, all fiananced by the German social security system, at one point I travelled to Ecuador and Colombia for two months, whist still being paid by Gerry.

          I was receiving 70 per cent of my fomer takehome.

          You do not sign on in Germany , but if you are unlucky you have to attend an interview within a week of them writing to you.

          Beat that !

          God Bless the Arbeitsampt.
