Hi all,
After several years of contracting I decided to accept a perm offer. Mostly because the market has gone bad and there are very few positions. I thought it’s better to have something than sit home doing nothing.
I hoped the permie thing would work for me, the salary is decent, team is OK. However I don’t enjoy much what I’m doing now. The worst feeling is sitting next to a contractor doing exactly the same job but being paid at least x2 times more than me.
Now I’m approaching the end of my probation period (3 months) and I found a contract position that fits very well into my skills.
If I’m offered the contract, I think I’ll quit the permie job. However, I don’t want to burn any bridges. The sector I work in is quite small and people know each other. How do you think this will reflect on me? Or should I stay a bit longer in the job? But then I’ll be bound by the notice period, which is more than 2 months…
