    When someone says they got a new job isn’t the first question Rate how hard was it to find did recruitment agency’s mess you about how long were you looking for etc

    Or is it just throw them a banana and that’s the end of
    It.
    Just the banana.

    We are always happy to celebrate successes and have no real desire to know whether it's shelf stacking for minimum wage or working 7 hours a year for a billion pounds.

      Working largely from home, very flexible working hours, interesting and challenging work. So, not boomed as such, but it's a good rate of pay and should take me to retirement.

      Soon this place will have to renamed ex-contractorsuk.com

            No.

            How long were you looking seriously for and we’re you on bench
            I wasn't on the bench. I just called 'em up and said how about a permie job? First offer a bit low, so I pushed back and they offered me 10% more.

                  When NLUK starts saying he likes the flesh - > Run! either that or buy shares in lube firms.

                  Seriously NAT glad to see you are following in my footsteps admittedly 17 years later, enjoy the 360 reviews (and expense account)

                    Did you have no contractor options at all or were the rates really bad so perm was worth it

                    How long were you looking seriously for and we’re you on bench
                    We all know this, so it’s not worth repeating, is it?

                      Well done. By far the sensible option to have peace of mind until retirement.
