Very well done - that is how to do it - export your services if those of others where you can!

If you need help on the management side - let me know!

My turn for a Boomed post

Just signed a new contract for a Flex role, 100% remote work with a US client (great with QE now looking more likely), 20% more than existing work.

This one's a standard contracting role apart from the telecommute part, doesn't preclude the other project I'm providing a team for (with margins on each person) and a 3rd project I'm bidding on where I will subcontract the development and take a 100% margin (my proposed rate seemed to go down OK).

I can see some very long days what with managing two projects and a full-time contract, but I need to build up the war-chest in case the UK/world totally collapses later in the year - and besides I'm not afraid of hard work... if I'm paid by the hour
