Did you take in account the aspire bonus scheme for salary? I'm a high earner on it and would be surprised if I could be better off as contracor

I make nearly 28k as a contractor without needing a bonus, the offer i got in-house even with 5 years experience was 18k (starting wage)... i don't know anyone willing to loose 10k to do the same job.
If your trying to say that in-house do this then i want to work on your network lol, as i can guaratee you thats not done on my network, im happy to dig a garden and repair a cable however i cant same the same for some in-house, the repairing of d-sides is left to networks... changing to an unused d-side and reporting the damaged d-side to networks is enough (they are extremely helpful and active), sharing a drop while waiting for a repull if damaged outside of the boundary is a must, however as stated above if damaged in the boundary then either the fix is found and repaired or a new piece of wire from the tee to etb, as a contractor the work is still audited by the same in-house PT's that audit in-house work, and
HAS to be of the same quality.
Given a choice i will not be going back to installs
ever i would rather be homeless and unemployed than be worked like an animal again, as a faults engineer i have to work with the
exact same rules that you in-house guys have to work within, but still for 10hrs more per week with less perks.
