Yes, you are indeed correct, the one that told me I had the contract on two occasions, then nothing, short memory.
I believe they were going to "have a go" themselves I wonder what mess they are in now

The other we share in common .
There was one that finished me early, but the FED were paying that bill, so was not really the clients fault?

Your further up the food chain which is probably why you have had less hassle in IB!...I have had nothing but hassle in IB a lot of which is because I work mainly on the Trade Floor so you get exposed to some serious tools n fools!

I have only been messed around by one IB client in 20 years contracting.
Agreed its not easy out there, but some seem to experience far more issues than others.

I don't hate the client, but this is the first time I've considered terminating early if something better comes along.

Given the situation I don't blame you.

Originally posted by MrMarkyMark View PostPretty tight, however it is always a risk accepting such a role, especially as it is likely to be a temp fill for perm.
Likely to be inside IR35 too.
