Commuting Via Car to Heathrow from East London
I will be able to start between 7-10 as flexible working is something the company promotes but I would prefer to start around 9, if possible. I am not an early riser, so waking up at 5:30 to get out by 6:30 may prove difficult. M25 is double the distance (40+ miles one way). Unfortunately... -

Newbie looking for some advice?
Thanks for the replies. I am thinking of either continuing desktop while getting trained on newer technology which in the long run I can try and specialise in or Service Desk Supervisor or Assistant to Service Desk Manager or Team Lead. Would these be options good for career progression?- mobad

Take Home Pay of 85%+
Ok I have done some reading and seems very risky but is 63% not a low take home percentage especially when I put down around £250 worth of expenses per week?- mobad

Good Afternoon All, I am currently a contractor for an IT Company and through an umbrella company I am receiving an income at around 63% only.
