A PM I worked for on a previous gig has been in touch. Just got his first contract role, bless.

Currently inaugurating him into the contracting lifestyle.

Step 1 : Tell your permie colleagues how much you're on.
Step 2 : Go and buy a 2nd hand Jaguar, you're on decent money now.
Step 3 : Get an accountant.
Step 4 : Get a CUK account.
Step 5 : Read the CUK user guide.


Any more tips for him? He is lurking now so will see the thread.

Does he know that this isn't the first time you've done this as a way of getting some secret backdoor action with a co-worker & that two posters have a restraining order out against you?

Step 6 : Ignore advice from Suity

Step 7 : Have a search of suity's post around the time you worked together. Useful search terms include "Current PM is an arsemunch" "Suity to the rescue" "Bunch of clueless Feckwits" or "I am so moneysupermarket it's unreal"

Step 6 : Ignore advice from Suity

Exactly. Leave the poor boy alone, he might have some chance of success if he doesn't emulate you!

Step 2 : Go and buy a 2nd hand Jaguar, you're on decent money now. ...

WHS - Very sound advice, although you should add:

Step 2a : Don't bump over a kerb in it, even at 2 MPH

I did last week and, after driving another couple of miles with (unknown to me) a flat tire, knackered it and had to pay £400 parts and labour for a new one

Lurking...but with intent.
Pondlife has a good point, will have to review posts around the time suity and I worked together...i'm sure it'll all be positive...damn it, there goes that permie positive attitude.
Got lots of questions but will try and integrate in a bit first, get the abuse bukkake out of the way.
