Hi
I have been contracting for almost 18 years and went from contract to perm just before the pandemic hit at my existing company. Mainly due to security to be honest and they needed me but couldnt afford to keep me due to the financial situation caused by COVID.
Almost 2 yrs later, I have been offered a route out back to contract although it is inside IR35 and they are willing to wait for me until a shortened notice period has elapsed.
I think the stifling effect being perm has had on me has got to me where you become a cog in the mill and have less impact now that you are no longer an expensive resource.
Has anyone else had a similar experience where being perm actually is very detrimental to your your skill set and mind ? I feel all the energy I had when I was consulting has been sapped out of me.
Just an interesting topic.
