    Contract Preference...

    Simple question - if you had a choice of 2 contracts exactly the same except for the below, which one would you choose;

    i) 3 days with 1 1/2hr commute (car) each way + 2 days working at home
    ii) 5 days with 50mins commute (train) each way + 0 days working at home ?

    (couldn't get the poll bit working hence posting like this)

    That's a no-brainer. Should suit you just fine.

        Having worked almost exclusively from home for the last 12 months I'd take option i) it's quite a luxury. Bit silly that so few companies are comfortable with people working from home, many roles could be done from absolutely anywhere so long as you have a reliable internet connection and phone line.

                    Maybe the people paying a handsome rate want something in return other than you lying in you bed winking or you sockie hunting on here.
