The Register: Guide to contracting

[d000hg]

Is it summer yet? I feel like we should go on holiday!

I reckon many of us are there already, as readers anyway. I know I am.

However the Reg commentard demographic is typically a big Linux/Android geek unlike here. I find it interesting how sites targeting similar groups of readers (IT workers for instance) can get such specific mindsets, which often are not the kind of view shown by the site officially... most IT workers are not massive Linux geeks.

But my favourite article of Dominic's is You're crap and paid too much for the little work you actually do ? The Register

One of the best paid IT guys I know says that he doesn’t sell “solutions”, he sells pay rises

Well thank you kinds sirs all

So you want to be a contractor? Well, here's how it works ? The Register

I do like Dominic, he really gets people riled up in most of his articles.

Nice to see that people who know the truth like the article.

Oooh, an actual famous person here in our little forums.

While you are here we would like to add the following to the guide to contracting:

Can you bleed radiators?
Do you like gladiators?

We're a bit worried that our Daily Mail obsession has been rumbled though

Just because we are Daily Mail readers doesn't mean we are all xenophobes, my cleaner is foreign, I think they are from Newcastle or somewhere in that region

Hang on a minute

that I, as a City headhunter and former contractor,

Is he... is he... is he a pimp?!

[Dominic Connor]

Tykelike, yes I can bleed radiators, I have enjoyed various TV series about gladiators.

As for being a pimp, you need to be careful with that term since I may have copyright over it. I coined the term in 1986 when I got my first contract and started the pimps conference on CIX a few year later.

So yes I am a pimp
