Fixed fee? You've got to make sure you negotiate an extremely tight set of deliverables to make sure the client doesn't change scope, cause the delays which means you don't get paid and so on. If he's paying you 10 grand for what you think is month long piece of work but takes 6 to 8 weeks it could you to stay until you delivery.
Loads of gotchas with fixed price so have a look through these links...

Brief update -
*Contract opportunity with the former work colleague - meeting up with him next week to discuss the work in greater detail. He's also suggested that it would be a good idea to meet his client. I'm looking forward to this... I'm praying it'll lead to more work!
With regards to payment and the overall structure of the agreement. The colleague would be my client.
*In other news I've been put forward for an interesting role. Which could keep me busy for 12 whole months.
I have a telephone interview with the client later this week!
Wish me luck.... PleaseComment
