Have Your Say: Have you had to relocate for your contracting?

Contractors Handbook

Have you ever had to relocate for your contracting? How did it go?

Did you find that it was worth all the trouble? Did it cost a great deal more than you expected, even allowing for tax advantages?

Was the rate that you obtained sufficient to make the move worthwhile? Relocation is a substantial disruption in your working and living, even if you only relocate to a second home for the days when you work on site.

So when it was all said and done, was relocation worthwhile? Or would you rather have stayed at home?
