    You want top dollar, you

    I'm up for renewal next month and their budget is tight.

    However, I need to get over the 1200/day mark and I also need them to start paying my hotel and/or flights.

    Now, given that the budget is being reduced, how do I get what I want?

    Well, we are completely unsupervised on the desk... And another quant dev has done some shocking shocking work which I (and only I) know is costing the bank $.

    Now, this guy has also tried to push me out to back fill me with a cheap mate of his. And guy is pals with the desk head from way back - so I'm under a serious threat .

    So I'm going to have to sacrifice him. I am going to reveal his shoddy work, show the financial loss, obtain an extension and a rate increase will be offered.

    I'll do this onsite, face to face. But I'll continue to do most of the work from my base in the med.

    This, is how to roll.

    You need to wean yourself off the drugs, man.
    You can do it.

                  I have to say, it's been a bit of a shock dropping from 250k a year back to 120k a year as a mere contractor.

                  But I only have to work 37.5 hours a week, my time is my own and I only have to work with ****wits having previously had to manage them.

                  Perm vs contract.
