I wonder why I've seen this same ad posted for over two weeks now?

Not really, someone said 3 days across two different offices is not awful, I'm trying to set some context how that is a terrible offer for an architect role.

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?

Sounds like Cap Gemini.

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.

So this is really a dick swinging me me me exercise than any useful discussion on available roles then?

I won't be able to negotiate that down to 1 office trip per month so I won't touch it.

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

£700 outside and 3 days in the office is not remotely awful.

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.

Interesting. I wonder who that's with. I ain't no architect so I'm out.

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.

[DrewG]

That's quite convenient for me, what is it?

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

Pay enough and they will have some takers.

"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."
