Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Dunno, first contract was about 25 years ago but there have been some permie stints since (actually my first contract turned into a permie stint for one year after the initial 6 months as they offered me an interest free loan which I couldn't get as a contractor then, earning the glamorous wage of GBP5.50 per hour!)“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Nearly 4 years. Started contracting right at the start of the recession. Some scary times with a depleted warchest due to sick child. Nearly ran back home to mummy in NZ.

4 years for me, worked permie till early 30's. Will probably do another 6-7 years then start to do something else. This leads to anther question, is there an upper age limit that contractors start to become sidelined.Comment

I don't think there is an age limit, their employing your services not you, you will be out the door with cheque in hand a long time before they realise you need an afternoon nap you have tartan rug under the desk and you smell of piss and biscuitsOriginally posted by russell View PostComment
