iPhone people - what's your average steps per day
I use a fitbit and do an average of 11k steps, 30 flights of stairs and 120 minutes of activity. The iPhone app is not as reliable as the watch/band based ones. Everyones target should be at least 10k steps as this means you can drink 3 pints of an evening and they don't count. -

Offered a move to permanent role - How do I deal with the agency
The deal was done on the basis that they were approached about finding someone and through a chance conversation ended up meeting me about 2 hours later. I was already known to the client but had not been approached as I hadn't been looking for something to do at the end of my previous... -

Offered a move to permanent role - How do I deal with the agency
I think I'd prefer them to be above board with agency. For me I can accept once the PO runs out as I cannot see how I can be held responsible - whether it is ethical or not is a different matter. The client needs to sort this out with agency. -

Offered a move to permanent role - How do I deal with the agency
My contract with agency is silent on matter. I just have a Purchase Order for my time which has been extended 5 times i.e 5 lots of 10 days. No t&c's on back or attached. I'm just invoicing against a PO. Normally I work directly with clients with no Agency so this is new for me. Client ->... -

Offered a move to permanent role - How do I deal with the agency
Don't think there is anything as a dream role it just suits right now, location is excellent, money is good and I like working there. TBH I'd do it at less salary just for the wind down approach to retirement. -

Offered a move to permanent role - How do I deal with the agency
That what I thought though they are not an agency I have done work with and so I don't know how they might resolve this. Can see mothballing co is of limited value thought it has sentimental value so I'd probably keep it anyway I don't know what an MVL is but my war chest is already out of the... -

Offered a move to permanent role - How do I deal with the agency
My contract doesn't have anything about this situation; as the client wanted someone at very short notice and it was only to be for few weeks I just got a Purchase Order for my time. Which was fine for 10 days and would have been fine for the max of 60 days - always the max it could be given... -

Offered a move to permanent role - How do I deal with the agency
I've been offered the opportunity to move into a permanent role from my current contract status. The client want to know if I can do it off books with the agency - i.e. resign and then take up the offer without involving the agency! What levers are there that the agency, client or I can pull... -

Subject to investigation without being notified
Durrhhh ... Sorry never seen it expressed like that but I'm not a typical contractor. Most of my contracts are >24 months, with the civil service and have been inside IR35 for as long as I can be bothered to check. I just ramp the rate up to compensate so it makes no difference practically...- DijStra
