Hi all, I am benching it currently, offered an extension which I probably should have taken but the living away was getting painful and 70k in the bank says I don't have to stay !
Been bouncing a few CV's out and getting the odd call but no interviews yet, stuff I do is often permie so having to consider these roles too - ouch...

Originally posted by alreadypacked View PostDelhi Belly is fine, yes the builders are still here. They were spray painting varnish today had to escape to the bedroom to eat my lunch, the smell was so bad.
The law over here is clear, I personally can't buy, but my company can. I just had to transfer the money in legaly to do it. They are just trying to stop black money comming in pushing prices up.
I just better not need the money I have invested as I think it is still difficult to get it out of India, but should get better.
If your on the bench this is a nice place to be.
DP are you looking or just resting?

So looking foreward to more time on plan b,c,d, etc, it's unreal.
Anyone else heading for the bench and loving it?
