        Wowser. 6 month contract with a chunky increase! !

        Went for interview 2 weeks ago- a chap I used to work with in my permie days looked me up. I knew they rated me, so I went in heavy on the rate side of things. But heard nothing in 2 weeks and was starting to get twitchy feet, as the market didn't look that great. First time that I won't be using an agency as well, so we'll see how that goes! First time working away (30% in edinburgh),which I'm actually looking forward to as well....

                    Very true.

                    I actually have another interview next Wednesday. I was in two minds about whether to go. Would you guys go to the interview when you have just verbally accepted another gig? Just as a backup incase things go pete tong
