Good luck.
With reports elsewhere on here of hundreds applying for each role I too am thinking money is no longer a driver, and quality of life is. Time to do something else.
So thinking of setting up an agency website full of fake job and contract opportunities and charge the applicants a fiver to jump the queue. Only new plazzy fivers with those serial numbers that mugs will pay hundreds for on ebay of course.
I won't even require 2 references to get ahead of the competition.

I'm actually hoping to get this gig, which pays £225 per day less than another I'm forward for, but one is 20 minutes away versus a minimum 3 hour per day round trip in London & loads of managing people.
Money no longer a driver.
MF in 'breaking the cardinal role of contracting' mode.
