A limited company is one that is limited to working in only one industryOriginally posted by sasguru... and I need your advice.
What is a Ltd company?
What is an accountant?
What is an umbrella company?
Should I get a high paying contract or a low paying one?
I'm sorry. I wasn't taught to read at school and I don't know how to use google. But I do want to be paid large amounts of cash to do complicated IT projects. I don't see any contradiction in this.
Thanks.

An accountant is someone who always gets 3's & 5's mixed up
An umbrella company - Please !! It makes umbrella's
You should always go for a low paid contract because there are always openings within the company for higher paid ones

Yes betraying my age here. Not very PC either. I remember getting a lecture from a teacher at school when I used the word, along the lines of "Spastics had feelings too". He was right, I suppose.Originally posted by MrsGoofnow thats a word I havn't heard for years, it brings back memories of the 'Joey' insult
ahhh those were the days

Frankly I'm disgusted!
I'm very content in life but I like being disgusted. It gives my life an edge.
I could never be happy unless I found something to be disgusted at (particularly house prices, new labour or crime). Slowly but surely I am turning into a grumpy old disgusted man.
Yours disgruntled (not really)
