    Bearing in mind this time a couple of years ago it was full time in the office and no one batted an eye lid.

    For people that are willing to do the travel for 700 quid outside it's bloody great. For someone that can't be arse it's terrible.

    That help?

    Yeah, very likely. I had a rummage at the other roles they're recruiting for with the same location and as they're after AWS developers I suspect that Heathrow Airport might be resurrecting the project I was on before covid struck.

    I can get the same rate, same IR35 status, and rarely have to travel (do school runs, do swimming lessons etc).

    Equally, if we are all told and know that what is in a JD might have little resemblance to reality, why do so many people take days as gospel? It's as negotiable as the day rate.

    I would have thought the fact the first two posts both countered whatever it you thought was out of order for this advert you are laughing at yet continue to push it, posting more eviedence you've dropped a bollock here.

    It's 700 quid a day outside. That's a bloody great gig. Stuff 'convenience' for 6 months. Line the coffers and then batten the hatches down I'd say.

    Either way, tulip post.

    The location is easy for me too but there's no way I'd call it convenient compared to my home office.

    "The role is outside of IR35, and will require you to be available to work 2 days p/week at Heathrow, and 1 day p/week in Central London, the other 2 days will be remote."

Working...
