Would the permie job T&Cs not prevent you from working for someone else?

if i needed the money, and thought I could get away with it, definately.

but i would be discreet about it with each of client and employer.

Haven't tried it with the permie element.

Have tried it a couple of times as concurrent contracts...seems good on paper but finding the energy to maintain the illusion ( and have any form of a life ) is quite tricky!

Why don't you ask SajStars - he has two jobs and runs a marathon every day.

I would do it for 2 contracts, but not for a permie job. The permie income would not be enough to make it worthwhile.

agree

Ive ran 2 contracts before side by side and it was very tough but financially extremely worth while. But just make sure that you dont get caught if it breaks your t&c's. Noone will really care anyway - but if y ou are going to do it - make it worth your while financially

I would normally agree with you, but in the current climate I thought it was a way to get a "foot in the door" as a permi - you never know!

...and the foots not too far in for all the politics etc.
