    Cheap it is there are no overheads, but easy? Since when? What do you do again.....?

        So you don't think it's easy to get contracts?

        You know what they say about assumptions!

            6 years contracting, 10 contracts (longest was 18 months) and only 6 weeks total bench time

            In all that time I've only worked one day of one weekend and I'm usually out of the office on time

            For the money and lack of responsibility I have it's much easier than being a permie!

                2.5 years contracting, 3 weeks bench time so far, have to work bloody hard to find a contract and then to prove I am worth the 300-400/day I get paid....

                  This is a classic, and no insult intended Mupps.

                  You are asking the wrong question, and at exactly the wrong time


                  there are two questions

                  1. I am bored sh!tless cant take any more , how can I get out


                  2. I left an easy contract because I was bored, now Im skint, my family is destitute, me ribs are poking through, and my head is spinning due to lack of ale, should I have stayed


                  before you even think about answering 1
                  think about 2

                      Yep, hence the 400/day limit. Had an interview for 570/day down in the city.
