That's true. I have upped my asking rate - but no bites so far. Only been looking for about a week though

Anyway, someone knock some sense into me.

Thanks

Not until you answer my questions on the ask beaker thread...

Being on the bench I've also had the unwelcome calls about permie roles too.

I can just imagine the grief right now, and for the 50k they were offering, they can shove that.

Forgot to add the 4 weeks holiday allowance too...

Go permie? Nope nope nope nope nope.

Resist it.
