Cheers Mark, I'll take a look at that forum later. Im aware there's a lot to do. I have a few friends who are contracting at BAe who've been really supportive. That IR35 keeps being mentioned by everyone I talk to lol

It seems there are a few risks to contracting ie no holiday pay pension shorter notice period etc but the pros seem to outweigh these which is why I'm guessing you do it, ie, more money and much more freedom which can be so hard to find in today's job market.

Overall I'm really looking forwards to the challenge as now seems a good time to be assertive and make the jump even although I'm currently a bit apprehensive as it seems like there is so much stuff to sort out before I start.

I've got a contract with the agent who have a contract with the engineering company which I've heard is normal but apparently I need to make sure it's a day or hourly contract as opposed to being salaried with the agent so they cream loads of margin. What a minefield.
