    RAF is an excellent starting point for SC.
    It means you are quite likely to get it. It's no shortcut though. The process took around 2 weeks for an expedited SC last time I did it

    I've heard that too. Worth looking into... seems to be no end of UX researcher/ designer roles out there as well.

    Hmm... a bit of a glitch I think.

    Only the one month ban was available when I retried.

    So I gave him that.

    Are you sure you've done what you meant to do and think you have done?

    That 'car' is left hand drive so JHTF you'll be driving it RHD on the wrong side of European roads is beyond me (and probably others who spotted the glaring slip)!

Not that that will mean more equity as I'll still need a car out there.

    So, im a contractor, watched this board a while and couldnt be assed to log in. Long story short, i went perm with an old client. However, i also landed the two contract roles i was offered during my bench time, but due to delays i had to turn both down, as i respect the client who gave me the perm role, and in this climate, the perm role made more sense

    All i would say is, if everson, or whatever his name is was any good, he could land contract roles in this climate. I suspect that car is not his, or higher purchase!

    Anyway, il maybe comment more in future. But you guys shouldnt rise to his bait. BBL abuse is perhaps legit in the way he is doing it, but its not in spirit, and tbh i worked with many tulipty contrators, they behave this way and frankly can not deliver, charlatans bascially.!
    The irony is that this entire conversation started not over the BBL (perfectly sensible thing to take and use) but the fact that because Oliverson's company is owed £30k by Oliverson the director there is a means for the liquidator to chase Oliverson directly for the money.

    Using (and abusing) a bounce back loan is perfectly acceptable- needs must. A directors loan when the company you owe money to (and also own and control) owes HMRC money is not such a great idea.

    Reality ive seen, perm set up is screwed, interview process outside of clients you dont know crazy, and the contracts out there are thin on the ground. As a yardstick, given i chose to bench myself end of Feb due to ir35, and also working for other companies as a favour, (and a nice holiday in japan with gf)

    I got 2/2 contract roles (May / july 2020), one with BT but was second choice it seemed, and rate tulip, plus the offer came in after accepted perm role, the other technuovo. They are for real, they doing HMRC and it was for lead on a certain border, but it came with a huge delay, and i suspect that project is being destroyed by UKG, so im glad i dodged it (though i would like the challenge of it),
    and 0/3 perm roles (i didnt have to interview for my current role).

    Anyway good luck all, upside, i got 4.5k rebate from HMRC, and now they owe me £400 on my laptop, thanks Rishi!
