(yet another thread about) Back to perm offer

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist -
Just a couple of things to watch here though. It's not as simple as having your cake and eating it.
Firstly a contract->perm role surely has be a big IR35 risk. If all that is changing is the way you are paid then surely the gig up to now has to be one of a disguised permie.
The other is that employers are not so keen on taking contractors on. If they are offering you the gig you are doing it's slightly difference but if you start applying for roles as an ex contractor they could eye you with a modicum of suspicion. You could be in to re-train and bugger off or are fully expecting you to not like it and bail back to contracting in 6 months or so time. Something that happens a lot as we can see on here. If there are similar permies up for the gig you could go straight to the back.
Just something to bear in mind. You can't dip in and out of the two as you feel free without there being some consequences.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

So I'd be fairly confident that it wasn't disguised perm before.

Good points. In this instance it's an offer was unprompted from me and it's not an advertised job, but certainly something to be wary of if I switched back to contract and then later thought about perm again.

But that doesn't include who settles. QDOS and sure IPSE have been on here and said they were pretty busy with cases so it's not like they sit there twiddling their thumbs.
I don't think the JlJ cases helps though as it was a partial win so there is some evidence it's not risk free now.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

There are posters on here who were put through loads of stress but because of their insurance HMRC quietly dropped their cases."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
