From one modeller (well part of the skillset anyhow + control eng/ model based diagnostics, etc) to another congrats on the contract rate.

It's nice to know. I am only being offeed £25/hr currently. I think the agent is mistaking me for a whore and trying to .........

At five days a week =£5500

*26 weeks (who need hols at that rate) = £143,000.

Fantastic.

I'm sure you have already worked this out though.

I think I'm on £1100 a day, but unfortunatly that's what my client co are charging me out at, I'm more like half that.

The figure is nice, but if it's only a 5 day contract or so, then the maths kind of balance out I guess.

6 months

What, did you invent your own math model, patent it, and now sell the concept to businesses to show them something they can't see unless they pay the ransom?

Mathematical modeller is a broad term.

Yes it is, don't need everyone jumping on the bandwagon.

I don't play with SPSS, my models represent actual working systems to determine.... nuff said.

Essentially an uber-geek.

Well done. I'd hold out for more though as you should never accept the first offer.

For that much hopefully cure cancer.

It's on my to do list... practically everyone I know has been effected by it. Only a matter of time before I'm hit with it.

Not only that but my old client came back to establish a maintenance contract for work done. How can yesterday's income be £0 and tomorrow's £crazy?

[scooterscot]

quant?

No. Not in finance.

Not IT obviously! Mathematical modeller of sorts

Banks?
