Appointing a substitute via Rentacoder

Joining a established Ltd, questions
An EMI approach is out of the question due to costs (they wont consider it), which brings this back to a ordinary share purchase/option offer.

Joining a established Ltd, questions
Thanks for the offer, much appreciated. Check out the EMI scheme online, is only for options up to 120k, but apparently these should be 'worth' 1.3m in 4-5 years. Tbh my 'sceptical bone' is in the red zone on this one :D- ft101

Joining a established Ltd, questions
Interesting replies folks, thanks. Looking forward to more opinions too. Just to be clearer on my original post, the company has not yet floated and is privately held. The big idea is eventually to float or be bought out. Buying equity was presented as an option but is not something I am...- ft101

Footprints in the sands of time
Sounds fantastic. Are you using a campervan type accomodation or camping? Been to oz a couple of times, great country. Make sure you take a decent camera. -

recruiter submits CV but won't name company
Contact the different agents then - if you don't 100% know the client, then why not apply for those 'other' roles?- ft101

I am in the wrong business, and so are you lot
VW's are no more reliable than anything else, its all marketing spin. How many old rover's (1990's) do you see on the roads, compared to other makes? The old 214 & 414's had great rustproofing and aside from head gasket munching on the k-series engine there was very little that went wrong with...
