Standard internet terminology, the bro thing I think you will find.
And yes I've heard both of those tales, of yours, many times before, they dont improve with age.

His reasoning, people should want to show a bit of community spirit and work for the nhs and not just think about the money, yeah right.
Reminds me of the agent once who tried to get me to do a role which was half market rate. When I politely declined he said his client wouldnt be interested in someone like me who only cared about the rate. Yes **** off then. Its not like I was quibbling about £10 a day....

Why do so many people on here see "inside IR35" and immediately think disaster? If there are good contracts to be had out there and the tax isn't an issue then go for it. You're still in work for 12 months and you're getting the training/career development that is normally only afforded to permies. Then you can go straight back to private sector with your new skills and command more.

Originally posted by bobspud View PostThere seems to be a very odd situation in the NHS. Most of the jobs are falling foul of the crappy rates that sprung from the last attack on contracting for governments. But I got a call the other week for a work from home role that was paying nearly 1000 a day. My risk profile is way to low to be near anything like that at the moment.

Oh dear, oh dear! This article talks about why contractors would want to contract in the NHS and cites things like career progression and a long term opportunity and that some contractors are interested in it despite only getting 70-80% of what they could in the private sector.
Call me mad but I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole as it sounds like a recipe for IR35 disasterLast edited by Contractor UK; 22 June 2016, 11:21.
