haha yes I think I would if I had more options than I currently do when I told them there was another agent advertising the same role and I'd just go through them it was amazing how quickly they were able to reverse the decision.

Thanks for the welcome everyone

newbie saying hello

Hi newbie here and long time lurker.

Don't panic I'm not about to ask a question that I could quickly find by googling or looking at the first timer guides

After lurking on here over 5yrs ago and then taking a permie job I decided its time to commit to moving to a contractor role so have recently had the joy of dealing with pimps again (but the more wild and vicious contract pimps compared to the permie ones).

This site and forums in particular has been an absolute gold mine of information so thank you to all

Just had the call about the rate being lower than they originally thought (by 10%), so I refused and within 5mins have an email saying they can put me through at the original rate which feels like a tiny tiny victory.
I was thinking of creating a bulltulip bingo card to keep to hand whenever a pimp calls
