Add to the professional network by turning up at a conference and giving a presentation on really easy stuff that you make out as complex. There's a 45 minute presentation on something at the UK Oracle User Group next month, which I reckon I could implement from scratch in less than that time, but people will turn up and ooh and aah.Comment

Originally posted by SimonMac View PostNot for me, for me time is more valuable than anything, I can invoice 4 days with good will and spend the 5th day with my kids, no brainer in my eyes.
(It also helps that 4 days billing here is more than I was billing in 5 days at my last gig)
I loved doing 4 days a week. When DD1 was born, I worked 5 days in 4 so that I still got the day at home.
Sadly, I was permie at the time, and the client was paying the company £2000 a day for my time. I was on under £40k a year.Comment

I'm doing 4 days at current client and I the rate I get for the 4 days is the same as my last gig.
Although MY day off tomorrow will involve going food shopping and going into town.Comment
