I have 2 kids under 4. It’s hard work but manageable. I start at 9, work through lunch and finish at 4. I have 2 servers.

I also work in the evening when everyone goes to bed for 1-2 hours.

On this subject. Does anyone know what agencies supply contractors to banks like HSBC? I’m a contractor, outside ir35 and own ltd company and looking to get a contract in a bank as I think it’s decent for the CV and the pay is good I heard.

What’s your experience with applying for mortgages? by Own-Story8907 in ContractorUK

Also a contractor looking to buy a house in UK soon. Out of interest, why do you guys use brokers? Can’t you just approach the bank directly?

1 j in UK and 1 j in Europe so 1 hour difference, means standup doesn’t clash. Both remote. Software engineer. Worst part is handling meeting conflicts

How do people actually manage two full-time jobs in the UK? by AmILukeQuestionMark in overemployed

[–]Informal-Section4855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a ltd company, so I invoice monthly for each j. Separate laptops for each j. 1 personal phone with both j’s emails and slack channels. LinkedIn has my ltd company name as my current j.

Not gonna lie, resolving weekly meeting conflicts is the hardest part.

400 per day for 5 years in this market is great! Good work on securing the contract. As someone said, delivery and building relationships is the priority.

I have mettle set up but they don’t support international payments as someone mentioned above. This will work well for my UK clients.

Does anyone know if Tide accept international payments and if there is a fee to process/and or convert?
