Internal job ads within existing client

I think one thing many people forget is that we now have a two(or more) tier contractor market.

There are those of us who want to be contractors and are paid for our expertise. Then there are those who aren't paid well and would love a permanent job if they can find one..

I'm quite happy with the idea of being a contractor. If I wasn't then I'd have taken the offer of a perm role at the consultancy I'm contracting at. Or the last perm offer at the last contract. But neither were the right role and neither would have been useful long term, they'd just have been a perm versions of the contracting job I'm doing at the moment. If I'm looking at perm job it's because I think would make a difference to the rates I could ask for in a few years time.
How did you gain the expertise you're so handsomely paid for?

Should have been clearer in the OP. The job is being advertised on LinkedIn. I was asking about approaching them as an @bank.com consultant rather than masquerading as an external candidate. I can't cut out the agency but if approached correctly then they'll take their daily margin or the chunk of cash on a permie referral, so I can't imagine they'd be disgusted at the idea.

Will they even take on contractors? I heard some clients won't take on ex contractors as perms.. Could be wrong though. Any one else heard the same?

That I don't know yet. It's a completely different area though, OTC derivatives rather than KYC.
