Yep.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostYou need an online reputation? Google it and pay for one. Bob will provide. You need a professional network?

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

+1Originally 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
