    How did you do this year?

    Thanks. I genuinely didn't know if it was good or not but, having looked, realise 105k is quite a bit more than most in my area. I am a London based Tech Data BA in Financial Services with about 20 years experience with all types of financial firms, mainly in data projects. In a sellers...

Have been offered a perm role elsewhere which I am going to take as have option of working remotely permanently at £105k. Have paid 3 years pension into Sipp resently so...

    MyCo on LinkedIn

    I was messing around on LinkedIn and noticed my Limited Company has its own page - no details per se other than sector, company name and location, but I didn't set it up. My other half has her own Limited too and, lo and behold, there's one for that Ltd company too. I know a lot of this detail...

    "Dodgy" offshore schemes

    I was in the same boat in late 2010 but thankfully declined. I was on contract at a client where a fellow contractor spoke to me about it. He (let's call him Don) brought me out with a mate of his (a retired builder who helped set up the scheme) and plied me with drink, saying the scheme was...

    Clients attitude to contractors inc internet access etc

    Go nuclear and tulip yourself at your desk. When someone complains say "I had already exceeded my daily toilet break allowance so it was the only option available. Now stand back, I feel a strain coming on again."

    Payment on Account

    Didn't realize the director's loan limit had increased from £5k to £10k. Am in the same boat as the OP so great to hear. Thanks :hug:

    SJD - what are the best alternatives (apart from NW)?

    I am with SJD and happy enough with them. I think you get the next month's fee waived if they don't get back to you within 24 hours or something. In four years, I haven't caught them out yet alas.

    Agencies that want to meet you ?

    Doubt the agent knew the difference in any case. :smile

    Linkedin - Contracts

    I work in BA roles in financial services and have managed to link into a couple of direct recruiters (employed directly onsite or on secondary basis via an outsourced agency like Resource Soultions) as they have seen my cv elsewhere and contacted me. Then, when they added me, I can see who the...

    Breached notice period

    Interesting they blinked once a legal person got involved. They'd probably blink again were it pursued.

    Are dayrates suddenly taking a dive?

    Why, are you an agent too?

    market

    Interesting. You can PM me details and I will get them to get in touch. You can make your mind up for yourself but I'd wager they're very suited. :)

    market

    "Market" to me suggests contracting market. The OP, a tester as his/her post suggests, is out of work and just wants to get an idea as to how other folk are faring, in testing or otherwise. Nothing wrong with that and threads of this ilk ordinarily foster debate across sectors and roles. I...

    BarCap? Any info / feedback.

    Contracted there for 4 years on an off over the past 10. Got in at 0830 and left at 1730 religiously. Never had any problems and never heard any scare stories while I was there. Will go back at some stage. Never had any problems with any politics either, nor heard otherwise. Encountered the odd...
