What's this no-sense spam? I continue to receive emails from this agency which offers £ 250 a day contracts (and actually the requirements are quite high). Do they find people for that? I can make more with a permie job. Do you receive this spam too?

The 250 a day agency
I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light. -
I'm on less than that at the moment - I'd take a job from themRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
Tadpole Technologies here in Edinburgh 'only offer £225 a day maximum'. Might as well say 'and must speak English as a second language'.Vieze Oude ManComment

I got sent one this morning, for about £200 a day. There seems quite a few about at the moment. I checked out the recruitment firm and asked a few questions. The one I saw was a semi-permanent sort of role with holiday included in the deal - like a permie job but with contracts renewed each year. They even pay for the contractor to embed themselves within the company and become an in-house expert on some technology or another.
Some industries have got away with having pseudo-employees like this for years and they just apply the same to IT contractors. It's like having a semi-steady job. £200 a day works out to £52k assuming the 20 days holiday is paid as part of the deal, maybe £45k as a comparable gross salary. It's pointless trying to avoid IR35 with this sort of thing though. Not a bad compromise for someone who wants stability in their contract whilst getting paid a bit more than a permie.It's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. www.areyoupopular.mobiComment

"According to Kundera, "being" is full of "unbearable lightness" because each of us has only one life to live: "Einmal ist Keinmal" ("once is never", i.e., "what happened once might as well have never happened at all"). Therefore, each life is ultimately insignificant; every decision ultimately does not matter. Since decisions do not matter, they are "light": they do not tie us down. But at the same time, the insignificance of our decisions - our lives, or being - is unbearable. Hence, "the unbearable lightness of being.""I've seen much of the rest of the world.
