Hi,
First post (and possibly last since I am leaving contracting), so go easy.
6 month contract started July 2021, extended January 2022, ends July 2022
End client doesn't extend contracts beyond 12 months as a policy.
This is the only day rate contract I've ever seen in my industry and expertise, so no prospect of another opportunity elsewhere.
End client have offered a permanent position. I'm only doing what I'm doing now because of the money. It's boring work and is way beneath me. So I have no intention of accepting.
I have a formal job offer from their competitor, slightly better money, but actually what I want to be doing and offers a clear progression path upwards. I intend to accept, and have communicated a start date of 1 August.
If I tell my current end client that I don't intend to accept their offer, I'm worried that they will terminate my contract (only one week notice required). And it's way more money than the perm position so I'm keen to keep it until the end. Is this a credible risk, or am I being dramatic? Should I stall their offer as much as possible?
Thanks
