From 4th quarter 2009 into 2010 is not going to be a good billing year (rate cuts and hours caps). 2008 was my tops, 2009 was pretty good. 2010 sees me taking home approx the same as I could in a senior permie position. I see no improvement at all in the market so far this year.

I did a fair amount of overtime/out of hours working last year, so in total I billed for 262.5 days in 2009.
2008 was 212 days.

His moniker came from a Cadillac Fleetwood he used to own.
