Hi everyone,
I left my contracting gig with a bank in April after nearly 5 years because they wanted me to switch from an outside to an inside IR35 contract. At the time I didn't want the continuation in the same job, with no doubt very similar working practices, in case I was investigated.
I ended up taking the summer off, taking some exams, and I've just started looking for work now. The market's busy, but a lot of the jobs seem very niche, and the ones I could apply for are a lower rate than my old gig.
I'm pretty sure the bank would take me back (they didn't want me to leave), but I still have concerns about whether that would put me in the firing lines for the revenue, if not now then when this 'soft touch' period is over. It's been 6 months since I left, and most likely if I did go back it would be on a different project, but my working practices (remote work, etc) are likely to be quite similar, although with the new inside IR35 caveats (holidays, pension, etc).
Anyone got any thoughts on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
