Going Permie.. what to do

[captainham]

I sent an email to the accountant, wonder what he thinks. I know I am maybe paranoid but wonder if the advise given would be what's best for the accountancy, not what's best for me.

Third time around might be more successful

I understand the concern, but most of us in this sector work off reputation, and to that end rely on happy clients rather than self interest (honest gov!)

Thanks, I also work on this principal, and I am 100% honest with my clients even if it means I would be out of work, quite recently I had an interview with an ass who was recruiting a contractor during the interview he started slagging contractor's ethics and how contractors usually prefer it if the projects gets delayed etc so they can be on a contract longer, I tried to control my anger and explained that I don't know of any contractor who loves projects being delayed and not delivering, I controlled my tongue and didn't want to say that in fact permies who liked / caused all the delays normally... I nearly asked him if he thought so little of contractors why is he recruiting one??
This was the first time in about 10 years or longer I got this kind of crap in an interview, I believed the need contractors in the financial sector have been well established many many years now.. but it seems whenever the market is slightly tough, some think they can say what they like because they have plenty of applicants to choose from...

Rant over lol

I do come to forum and ask questions I could have asked my accountant, I just want to get a different point of view and want to make the best decision for me, but I suppose my own accountant knows a lot more details about my circumstances and my company, so his advice would have a more in depth context.

Thanks again.

Not quite seeing what your rant has to do with anything.

Basically its the ethic of the work Lisa said she would put the client interest first, and I agreed I have the same ethic that I would put my client interest first even if it means shorter contract for me.
