Started a contract in May as they were after AWS Skills for a modernisation project. The whole company is legacy and going through migrations for a number of products.

My team has no Architect and legacy devs. The whole infrastructure is a complete mess and won’t work when ready to migrate customers - which I’ve explained 5 times already.

We have a bi-weekly meeting to discuss topics but the perms take up 90% of the meeting complaining about trivial shite.

I’m used to working in highly efficient tech companies where decisions are made in less than 2 minutes. Whereas here they can discuss an EC2 instance size for an hour.

It’s so aggravating and when I suggest new things or best practices it’s a whole world of more discussions and push backs.

I’m actually concerned the project will be thrown if they don’t get things right fast.

How do you deal with this? This isn’t normal for me.

Currently £450 Outside IR35.

Have 2 recruiters lining me up to interview for the same public sector company but different roles. Both remote.

One is £760 Inside IR35 and the other is £500 Inside IR35. 12 months initially and both recruiters said most people placed there are there for 3-4 years minimum rolling 12 month renewals.

I interviewed for one and unusually both interviewers were contractors, usually they are perm. The hiring manager said at least 18-24 months of work.

Who is better? Or is there an alternative

I’ve seen some say Paystream have gone downhill

Pension flexibility is of course an important factor
