janewilliams20Or will do as soon as I sign the contract. Doesn't pay as much as I'd like, not as much as the previous one, nor as much as the other things I've been applying for - but I've been applying, not getting, and this birdie is in the hand.
Also, I can see two routes to getting the salary I'd like (well, leaving out the one that involves standing around Kings Cross at night wearing more makeup than clothes). I can get hired by some Big Firm, sit in a corner with my pension plan and health plan and code what I'm told to code. Or I can help build this much smaller firm until it IS a big firm, and can pay me what their development team leader ought to be paid. Given the enthusiasm and ability of the other people involved, I think it can be done, and will be done. And I'll have a huge amount of fun doing it.
So, in practical terms, I need to look at a pension plan, since the firm doesn't provide (well, they do, due to legal obligation, but they also advise me not to use it). Anyone out there got any advice on where to look?
