Double boomed

[Paddy]

The other gig made me an offer as well.

Original gig - 91% of normal day rate, 5 months.
Yesterday's speedy gig - 100% of normal day rate, 6 months.

No brainer right?

Work from home and do both contracts!

Work from home and do both contracts!

Do-able for a young single person. Not for someone with health issues and a horde of children, assuming you meant to do both gigs properly...

First gig won't take no for an answer. They can't match the day rate or duration, but can hike the day rate to 95%.

I can't shake the feeling that gig a took too long to make their minds up, and gig b cancelled their interviews and made an offer on the spot.

I'm very confused

How does one go about making ones mind up if they counter offer with equivalent day rate and duration?

Why didn't you stay in the Deutsch Land where the economy is growing and life is generally pretty good?

You missed a chapter. I miss my kids, the travelling is doing me in and my boss is a twat.

Kids can live in Germany too, and all bosses are twats; that's why we're self employed.

If the first gig isn't making you a breaking the bank offer stick to the one that wants you enough to be by passing their usual recruitment process.

Um - don't you work for yourself?

That's my feeling.
