I am new to contracting. So new I have not even started yet. I have, however, landed my first contract, very happy with it. Good day rate, outside IR35, company I have never worked with before. Ltd Company set up, Accountant appointed etc. Start in 2 weeks. Main client will be expecting me to work 5 days a week for them.
I am now nearly at the end of my 3 month notice period and my present employer (perm) are realising how much knowledge is about to walk out the door on a not yet completed project. They have broached the idea of keeping me on an a 2 day a month basis.
Is this a bad idea? Is it actually a good idea with IR35?
To be clear I have no intention of short changing anyone. The working practices of both clients would allow for early morning/evening/weekend to ensure that I have only charging a full day if that is what is done.
Would someone in that situation normally be clear with main client about the side gig?
