Originally posted by Elliegirl View PostI've been with public sector (previous was private) for the last year.
It has been bloody, chaotic, over bureaucratic and a real mess. However the project has added to the quality and diversity of my CV.
I try to keep it public/private sector mix as much as possible and would not rule out public sector in the future if the right programme/project came up.

There are two certainties in life (3 if you include NLyUK):
Death and Taxes. (According to Bullock)
Therefore sectors where there should always be work will be medical and government.
You could argue that War is also a certainty, in which case defence is also a sector to consider.

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostWhy banking? Never had any issues with banking once you're in the door; granted, some bugger you around with the contractual stage and there are the rate cuts but the rates still tend to be higher than elsewhere, even with rate cuts.
Digital can be good if they're *properly* agile to see how it should be done.
DA's are notorious for selling stuff first, consulting developers later. Like selling clients apps that aren't compatible with Facebook T&Cs, then telling devs "you guys figure it out".

Another good reason for ensuring your IR35 support team is on top of their game.

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostBut that, at best is far too simplistic and at worst wrong. MoO is about offering work AFTER the current identified piece has been completed. Not turning up because there isn't work is part of the Time and Materials way we work. There could be a lull in the current offering due to a change freeze period and the client asks you not to come in. That's because we are paid for a days work and they have that option, just as we have when we want to go on holiday.
Originally posted by northernladuk View PostFreud, you need to use the search as I mentioned in your first post. If you type in MOO site:forums.contractoruk.com in to google you'll get about 1000 results where MoO is discussed in great detail. As it's been done a lot there will be a ton of links and the like. Might take a bit of digging through but should provide a ton of very useful info (and a ton of crap as well though) to read.

Originally posted by eek View PostMoo means mutuality of obligation. If you are employed you need to turn up and your employer needs to pay you even if there is no work todo.
As a contractor you can decide when you turn up and your client can announce that you don't need to turn up as they have nothing for you to do.
