As a contractor, how do you answer this criticism?
In plenty of forums, Facebook, social media etc, I always see the following phrase and I wondered what everyone else thought about it and how you answered it. "People who avoid paying fair amounts of tax by creating a company, employing themselves on minimum wage and paying themselves a large... -

Warchests
I've seen this mentioned all over the place, and I'm being really dumb here but I don't really understand how people have built up large warchests. I'm a Business Analyst, on £400 a day. That's a decent wage compared to other jobs, I've always been between £300 and £400. Talking to other...- djm

Advice needed - go perm or risk finding a new job in March?
It'll be the same job title, and all business analysis work is effectively the same, i.e., gathering requirements, stakeholder management, etc etc. However, it'll be a different project in a different area of the business.- djm

Agencies to avoid....

I was reading a thread about "bandit agency" and opting-in sounded important to get in that situation, but the majority of people I know opt-out, so hopefully reading that thread will give me pros and cons to both and...- djm

Agencies to avoid....
They've sent through the opt-out documents into the portal for me to sign. There's been no calls or pressure about it. To be honest, I'm actually a little confused about opt-out, I was going to start a new thread about it on here. I've always opted out, not sure I ever fully understood it, but...- djm

Agencies to avoid....
First post after joining on here, I've been contracting for around 8 years so thought I'd add my experiences. - I've found Modis excellent. Their portal works well, they always pay me 10 working days after month end including expenses incurred in that month. They are not great at proactively...- djm
