Workload goes down as the rate goes up

[Big Blue Plymouth]

You only just noticed?

The higher rate is to compensate for the boredom and mind numbing tedium.

So you don't know what the workload will be like as you haven't (as of yet) been properly set up yet.

I can tell what the workload is like just by looking at what has been achieved in the last year by a large team.....

He's reading documentation and using his soft skills to make connections with people....

IR35 alert!

[eek]

as 8 days in I'm still yet to get access to the required environments to even do any work. Reminds me of my Barclays days (although there the rate was awful so perhaps that's an anomaly).

So you are billing your client whilst twiddling your thumbs waiting for IT access...

Gone up to top end rate for NW and I thought man I'm going to have to work hard to earn that rate...

Turns out the proportionality is reversed as 8 days in I'm still yet to get access to the required environments to even do any work. Reminds me of my Barclays days (although there the rate was awful so perhaps that's an anomaly).

CUK is going to get a lot more of my wisdom over the coming weeks by the sounds of it.
