I agree. Brexit was the last straw. Contracting was never a long-term plan and I made some mistakes that taught me alot.

Amazing seeing "contractors" doing the same jobs as "permanents" often staying for much longer. There are some who behave like consultants. Those are the ones I try to spend my time with.
