I've looked at this forum on-and-off for a number of years now, and recently joined it. Having been made redundant from a permie job and realising that I didn't have as much job security as I thought I had, I bit the bullet and thought I would try contracting. It's all a bit of an experiment, but my thinking was that after my first 6mth contract I'd have a much better idea whether it was for me or not.
So far, I'm enjoying it. I've found there has been lots of admin - ltd company set-up, insurances, accountants, business bank accounts, timesheets, invoices etc. but I'm pretty organised so it should be ok once I've been through it a few times.
I'm also still learning loads (which is why I am here), especially around the areas of Opt In/Out and IR35 which after much reading still confuse me.
