I’m new to contracting and just got my first 6 month contract, starting in a few weeks.
I have been in a permanent position but my department closed (due to Covid) so was made redundant. Now my current company have offered me another role and are putting pressure on me to stay.
The permanent role sounds great but I think I’m still going to take the contact as it’s an exciting project and I get a big redundancy pay out. I would also feel terrible going back on a contract (if that’s even possible?).
My question is is there any chance that the contract falls through? I would hate to turn down an excellent permanent position for the contract to just fall through.
Is it unreasonable to ask the people I’m contracting for (civil service) this? Will I look like I’m playing games/ I’m a nutter?!
