So there's no good reason for me to opt out then?- Branded

IR35 help
Yeah, this is exactly what it is. Now I believe the reason is that it's better for the agency rather than myself. If I opt OUT: 1. They can refuse to pay me if the client doesn't pay up. 2. I can't work for the client directly.- Branded

IR35 help
"A more informed question?" If I knew anymore, I wouldn't need to come here for help. Has anyone got a direct link to the info. I searched on your site and can't find it.- Branded

IR35 help
I know the difference between being caught and not caught. I just want to know why he seems to want me to opt in! I have searched and the only thing I can find is this: 1. If the client doesn't pay them, they don't have to pay you. 2. They can enforce a clause in the contract that prevents you...- Branded

IR35 help
Hi guys, A little confused and a bit worried here. I understand what IR35 is but don't have much experience with it. I started working for an agency a week ago but haven't signed anything yet. (Yes I know - stupid). But they are a large agency and pretty reputable, so I'm not too worried about...- Branded

I walked out on 3rd week of 3 month contract
Well... I want to say this more clearly. I did not leave because I had to unbox computers. I left because the place was chaotic and had no real leadership - it was a step backwards for me. The only people I could ask questions to most of the time were my colleagues who were hardly around. The...- Branded

I walked out on 3rd week of 3 month contract
Look, I've been working and this type of work for over 7 years now. I admit that I should be doing something more along 3rd line now. I simply don't want to work in an environment where I would stress too much simply because I was working for people who cannot do some simple prioritisation. If I...- Branded

Thanks for the honest opinion. But I can't take you too seriously - you're a northerner.- Branded

Sorry - I didn't mean that because she was simply a woman. She is apparently known to be a real bitch and demands everything to be done for her yesterday.- Branded

Lol.. Seriously, the unboxing incident was just the straw that broke the camels back. It was really all the lack of information and organisation that frustrated the hell out of me before that. Anyways... I'm going to roll one up and have a glass of Rioja. Merry xmas or whatever it is you all...- Branded

I walked out on 3rd week of 3 month contract
Thanks for the replies so far guys - I was expecting some smartarse comments e.g. "You make contractors look bad" etc. I've never walked out on a job before and the shortest job I've even had was 9 months. I am a 2nd line support guy and left my previous 2 and a 1/2 year job because it was...- Branded

I walked out on 3rd week of 3 month contract
Hi all, I started a few weeks ago on a 3 month contract and was annoyed and disappointed with the role I ended up with. Stupidly, I signed a contract where I couldn't give notice for the first 3 months and had to carry out the full three months. But in my defence, the work that I ended up...- Branded

Advice: Easy/cheap certification (MCP/MCSE/CCNA)
Hi All, I have already searched a little and haven't found much specifics on this, but I thought this would be the best place to start. I am tired of staying stagnant being a 1st/2nd Line Support Analyst and I've never been able to afford or ever been offered by my employers to go on courses...
