Got side tracked from what I was initially asking!
Turning down an offer last minute despite not actually signing it and with client expecting you to come on board....
Surely not cool. I wouldn't like it to happen to me. On the other hand you haven't actually signed so from their perspective job isn't in the bag....

It has not being implemented within a company yet, but they have come close a couple of times.
They are just at the stage of providing a few limited trials etc.
Its interesting and has actually made her more employable for one, its not all about the big bucks, as I said earlier.

Nearly all my family are in business on their own account and they all make good money, not millions.

While I have all of those I'm actually more of a cloud analytics specialist using Microsoft technologies. It just so happens in this instance that at various points I diverged into each of the above.
Sounds like a column store database with something like tableau or qlivkiew, pretty rare up north but not so much in London
