So, just had a call with these guys & sounds promising. They're a Tech consultancy providing services to a gov org. Initially it's outside, good rate though, probably one of my highest. Client seems to be insisting post-April that all contractors should be inside. Chap I've been talking to (HR) suggests an uplift of 25% on current rate. Is that calc about right? Can't believe how much tax etc.!!Clarity is everythingComment
