    Decisions.....

    About to start an interesting contract next month for a year. I am really looking forward to it. The money is quite a bit less than current gig, but as war chest is good I am strangely not bothered as I am more interested in the work despite needing to fly weekly.

    Gig I am leaving are not happy and are now talking about throwing me more money and matching the length - I am needing to stay strong as my decision is made and I am not changing, but, there are 30 good sized reasons to stay after all.

    Contracting is a strange old life.....

      Is this contract within the UK or have you factored in the fact you will need pay tax in the country you are working in and won't be able to expense the travel to and from there?
      merely at clientco for the entertainment

        Factored in. Like I said, not money driven but an interesting task. I will probably be back to earning money mode at the end of next year though!

          Sounds interesting. I always thought the main allure of contracting was to chase the paper and retire / find something fun to do in early retirement ASAP.

          Good luck though!

            Stick with your decision. You've already handed in your notice....

                  If he seeks validation on every thought that comes to his mind, we might need a separate sub forum for him and his ilk where he can start discussions around how many dumps he had that day

                    I’ve had a few today and not all that firm. I’m up for a forum to specifically discuss dumps.
