Also question the IR35 status if it sounds too good to be true. For example, if you role will be sitting on a Helpdesk logging tickets on ServiceNow and the advert claims outside IR35, then that’s a red flag!

Next? Remember the rate needs to reflect the almost undeniable inside status of such gigs.
