Wow! If the agent managed to get a big enough rise on the rate to actually pass some of it on to you she must be raking it in.

But anyway, well done, have some bananas:

It is within a commute I can live with and I met the line manager ( yes I can call her a line manager as I am within IR35) who seemed very nice. Plus it is a bit of a change and wider experience in a nice area. You can never really tell of course, I might find it a hell hole but in that case I will leave. It's probably a bit different from IT.
