Possible return to the dark side.....

[Gruffalo]

Had two interviews today, one local leading to second interview next week, the other 50 miles away with a terrible hours 8-8 culture to meet a deadline, but a fantastic rate, just as well as will be travelodging a lot I think.

Waiting very impatiently now to see which, if any I get......

Also had a couple of perm interviews this week, and another contract interview lined up for next week - 8 interviews in a fortnight, sounds very unbelievable!!

What is the contracting market generally like these days?

It's quiet ish. Noticed a bit of a flurry last week. Only been looking for two weeks mind, so not much of a sample. What's your game?

Depends a lot on the miles, but 50 sounds just about commutable if they're mostly tolerable motorway.

Mostly motorway, just the 8 miles or so at the clientco end. On the plus side, leaving around 7 or 8pm-ish will get me through rush-hour leading to a 45 minute commute home, if I can get away with leaving home around 7:30am. Would probably need to join a gym near clientco to get my workout in at lunch if I am going to be able to hack staying to blinking late in the evening.

Would probably factor in a hotel mid-week to recover with an early night and lie-in, and show some quality face time to allow me to scarper at a more human time on Friday, with luck.......

Any more ideas on coping with an unreasonable hours culture??

Looking likely to be a good year or so if my face fits, 6 month min, so thinking time to be a rate tart and chip away at that mortgage

Nervously waiting for the feedback - had two cracking interviews today, so feeling like my mojo is getting back up and at them!

My favourite food is Gruffalo crumble.

Begone.
