A bit of constructive criticism: your last paragraph could do with re wording, as it may put people off. It sounds a bit 'I won't do this and I won't do that'.
That’s exactly how it was meant to sound...? I don’t work away half an hour from my address is plenty considering I live on the M4 corridor going into London I don’t work in London it’s a dreadful place for driving and getting tools around.
What rate would do you expect to achieve with your current experience/qualifications ?
I normally get about £150 a day depending on the job my last job I was earning just under a grand a week with overtime. There is Data centre work about on £18 ish for competent improvers who actually hold qualifications and not mates pretending they are actually qualified when they have zero tech tickets.
Rates round my way are normally over £16hr for an improver.
I am actively retraining in something else and have been doing so for the last year Electrician money is appalling even before lockdown I’m just doing my Am2 getting my card then leaving the trade. Agencies and Electrical contracting companies just pay the absolute minimum they can and expect people to be grateful I know many people leaving the Trade.
