Gone perm. Bye

[TheRefactornator]

The title says it all really. For me the contract market has been dead for months, I've been benched since the beginning of last October and the war chest is now empty.

On the up side the perm role work is interesting, it's a big company in the North West that seem fairly recession proof and it won't do the CV any harm for a medium term stint..well maybe a couple of years.

Montana will have to wait.

Bye then. What's the job?

It's mostly .NET Mobile / web / desktop software development with a bit of legacy maintenance chucked in on classic ASP and VB.

Congratulations on being able to refill the warchest, even if not in the manner expected.

I was a permy last Wednesday after a spell of six months in the wilderness. It didn't last. I left this Monday, which was too quick to even get my P45 over to personnel.

Good luck. Close the door on your way out, but hope to see you back here in a couple of years*.
