Stay where you are. It sounds like your PS job is ideal - close to home and remote working. Just tell the pimp that what you heard in the interview in terms of the new role really wasn't what you wanted. If you are offered a role you don't have to take it!

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -

still undecided... the private gig is a shorter travelling distance and it is paying more, although its in the banking sector (might be volitile)
By the way i have a 4 week notice period - if i decide to take the private gig i would have been at the public gig for 3 months.
Only a few hours before i get the call from the agent!Comment

I have decided to give the private job a miss (LTSB) and stay in my current contract. Only time will tell if i have made the correct decision, the item that swayed it was the structural changes that are occuring at LTSB - the last thing i would want is walk into a 6 month but then be told after a month your not needed due to a re-structure. It was hard enough getting my current contract...Comment
