I'm dabbling with leaving my nice safe permanent job and getting into subcontracting. I work with subbies on a daily basis and know there is work out there. I've sent my CV off to an agency and they're confident I'll find work. The agency have recommended I go with an umbrella company as I'm new to this, but I've been told not to bother by one or guys as umbrella companies are more interested in themselves, not only that I've heard of bad experiences. Any wisdom or experiences appreciated.
Has anyone been in this position and what do I need to be thinking about?
Cheers in advance!!
