    Had an interview with end client who pretty much offered me the gig at the end of the interview although she said she wanted to make a decision that day (the Friday) as she will be off on the Monday and Tuesday.

  • Boomed +++ (Mega Ultra Ballistic Nuclear boom)



    Finishing contract at the end of the month and going straight onto another one with an even higher rate and about 30 mins closer to home. There will be occasional travel to london covered by the clientco - something I am actually quite excited about as it means I can work in the financial...

    Contract renewal has landed on my doorstep, another 6 months.

    Just put in justification letter for 20% rate increase due to booming market conditions.

    Awaiting client response.

    8 miles from home, 65% more than current gig. Happy. Something close to home suits at the moment with family situation to be honest.

    Not main skill-set (which pays more) so being away from that for a little is a slight concern. And they've said plans are 3 months only until end of project...
