You want top dollar, you
I used to roll those, but still go back to £50 notes, they are more stable when rolled and you get a more even inhalation.

Well, we are completely unsupervised on the desk... And another quant dev has done some shocking shocking work which I (and only I) know is costing the bank $.
This, is how to roll.
$1,200 a day.
What a pussy.
This is how I roll.

Now, given that the budget is being reduced, how do I get what I want?

Now, this guy has also tried to push me out to back fill me with a cheap mate of his. And guy is pals with the desk head from way back - so I'm under a serious threat .
So I'm going to have to sacrifice him. I am going to reveal his shoddy work, show the financial loss, obtain an extension and a rate increase will be offered.
I'll do this onsite, face to face. But I'll continue to do most of the work from my base in the med.
This, is how to roll.
TL;DR
SurelyYou want top dollar, you have to sucky sucky, long time

Based on what you've written, I think it's probably fair to pay you ¥1200 a day.

Whereas once the donuts were Finest™, they're now just donuts. But you'll make do, and scoff them all the same.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostI have to say, it's been a bit of a shock dropping from 250k a year back to 120k a year as a mere contractor.
But I only have to work 37.5 hours a week, my time is my own and I only have to work with ****wits having previously had to manage them.
Perm vs contract.
