Nope. Been outside IR35 with contract review and insurance, until PS client deemed me inside to cover their arses as part of a blanket determination. Accepted a new contract (after a decent break from old world to new) when they uplifted my old rate to offset IR35 (mostly), and pay for hotel costs when they want me on site, rest of time I'm 100% WFH. 
But with the way things are looking I don't want the hassle of the HMRC bogeyman knocking on the door years down the line, even if confident of being outside and backed up by a contract review. So will only accept inside IR35 roles with a suitable rate to compensate. Much less stress that way. In an industry where consultancies charge silly money to provide absolute numpties I no longer care about fleecing the clients. They've made their own bed by going along with HMRC's bad policies and trying to offload their tax liabilities to contractors by saying yes they were disguised employees. I'll just say I'm a consultant on my CV, no longer a contractor.
