State of the Market
Can be even worse than that. One of the Banks I was working for a few years back fired all the contractors and then tried to get them back a year later at half the previous rate. As I pointed out to the several agencies that called, after travel costs and hotel expenses I'd essentially be...- nomadd

State of the Market
Judging by the number of "I'm desperate and will take anything" posts we've seen on here in the last 12 months, I'm sure IBs will have no problems recruiting contractors at rates significantly below £650.

BPSS - Brexit etc
Where it is not possible to carry out meaningful checks in the UK because of a lack of UK residence, prospective employees are required, as part of the BPSS, to give a reasonable account of any significant periods (6 months or more in the past 3 years) of time living abroad. Etc., etc...- nomadd

What age do you plan to semi-retire?
Moral of story: Have a globally diversified portfolio. No reason not to with today's technology. Only 10% of my holdings are in UK-based funds - and even then, only in companies that make the vast majority of their profits overseas. Best never to bet too much of your money on a tiny...- nomadd

What age do you plan to semi-retire?
1. £2k. My SIPP plus other investments bring in nearly double that (after tax) with an SWR of 3.5%. 2. I semi-retired at 50. I fully retired at 55. Loving every moment of it.- nomadd
