    Taking extra dividends to buy properry

    What a ridiculous statement......maybe long term you could argue that on average, but depending on your circumstances this is wholly inaccurate. Speaking from experience after a split from my missus right in the middle of the house price crash.

    Non-Compete\Restrictive Covenant - 2 agencies

    Ha ha, I shed no tear over any Agency or Consultancy, they've had their pound of flesh already. The client is already having his lawyers look at their contract agreements, but as you say I'm not too worried about that, I just want to be comfortable (as much as you can be in this) that me and my...

    Reduce 1 contract to take on another - Opinions

    Cheers Guys, I certainly haven't made my mind up, nor do I come here to justify my decision, but may have to say no to this offer after considering the reasons specified here, will see what the contract says when it lands in my inbox before discounting it.

    Reduce 1 contract to take on another - Opinions

    Not 'Yours' personally. I'm not arguing, just reasoning, I just cannot believe that not 1 person would go for this! I'm aware of IR35 risk but am also aware of PCG+ Membership! :happy

    Reduce 1 contract to take on another - Opinions

    It's not just the immediate dollar signs, it's the longer term work (which I know is there) and the other benefits of closer with no UK travel.

    Reduce 1 contract to take on another - Opinions

    Agreed on IR35, but lets not get too hung up on it, I will take all steps I can to be outside, but am aware it maybe part of 'your' decision process. The 2nd point is valid though, but I feel I have a good relationship with the client to suggest it, I will not be playing hardball, and if they...

    Reduce 1 contract to take on another - Opinions

    I mean the same team at my ex place of employment, different job, defined project though, and they are a Huge Blue Chip with many contractors so the working practices are pretty good. Yes current contract review and I am happy with my status, can never be 100% but I have taken all precautions I...

    Reduce 1 contract to take on another - Opinions

    LOL, well the current place is like that, so that would probably happen to me! They are probably wasting at least a day a week of my time by their poor scheduling\responses, which is why I am hoping they will be happy to reduce to 3 days.
