Closing down ltd/starting up again
I am considering going perm, and so interested in this comment. If I leave the company dormant, would i need to also keep public indemnity and IPSE membership etc running in case an old client had a problem with something that was done under an old contract, or HMRC wanted to investigate IR35...- mrtuk

New to contracting - Whats a reasonable number of contracted hours?
I read the word estimated, but I interpreted it as 'expected'. i.e. I felt there was risk that the client would then be within their rights to expect that many hours per day and then say 'well we did tell you this is how many hours we estimated you'd need to do in the contract' ... and then...- mrtuk

My contracting prospects?
How about trying to get some experience in blockchain (so implementation rather than specific language) - this seems to be at very early adoption stages at the moment, so you'll be in at the start of something if it takes off.- mrtuk

New to contracting - Whats a reasonable number of contracted hours?
I am not planning to at this point ... ... this is the approach I am planning to take - I believe that this is reasonable for the rate agreed ... if however they turn around and say this is what the client require and it's not negotiable, then I will have a difficult decision as not working...- mrtuk

Yep - I have worked in an IB as a perm for many years, and typically do this also. I am absolutely OK with doing longer days when required, but just not keen on the contract stating it's a 50 hour week ... that's 25% more than I was expecting when I negotiated the rate.- mrtuk

Hi, About to embark on my first contract after many years as a perm. The role is in IT at a bank, but after getting through the interviews and agreeing the day rate, I have been put in touch with one of the banks PSL consultancies for onboarding. The initial contract they have supplied...- mrtuk

PM Agile/SCRUM training and certification
Agree that there is a distinction between Scrum Master and PM - worth reading the guide on scrum.org, IIRC they think PM is not a role in scrum, so potentially conflicting with the notion that an 'Agile PM' course even exists. Would recommend having a think about whether you want to be a PM or a...- mrtuk
