I came across your profile today and was impressed with your skillset. You look like you’d be a great fit for my client and would...

Is it the salary or mindset that is making you quit?

Welwyn Garden gig?? Must be Tesco :grin. I am getting a lot of Data Engineering roles contracts & perm, even though I am not looking. Looks like Data is the new Java of 2021s

Just thought of an idea. Try signing up to Amazon as a seller/merchant and study what sort of interface, approach they use for uploading products. I am sure that will be an eye opener.

Long back I used to work in a project that did something similar to "price comparison" site for fashion industry. The general approach was,

1. Visit the vendor's product page and identify the...

I was contemplating a similar idea couple of years ago. What I have realised is that uploading products/services through spreadsheet requires a custom plugin/development. This is because each...

This is how I normally charge(d). Everything remains as usual, except that I use HMRC exchange rate for that month to show the VAT in £'s. This converted £ is the one you pay as VAT.

Tell me about it. I have 3 laptops waiting to be collected. No wonder they have hard time procuring... :laugh

Correct. Usually it would be a single piece of paper but some agents include it in the terms of engagement. For e.g. in my current role the Terms of Engagement says

Data Engineering Lead

Hi BigDataPro,

Pardon the cold outreach BigDataPro, I was looking through your profile as part of our efforts in launching our new Data Engineering division within...

Started the role yesterday. Going through plethora of documentation. Not much activity, December/Christmas is helping. Got another 2-3 weeks to show some deliverables. Fingers crossed.

I am not sure about enhanced, but I did a standard check couple of days ago as requested by the client/agent. Received the results in 2 hours.

We shall have to wait and see. It is my opinion that supply is not far greater because permatractors have already taken up permanent roles. Therefore supply and demand are likely to have achieved...

I have...
