If you have other irons in the fire then maybe string them along for a bit if you can. -

Take position, they'll probably want probation period, if they don't liike you, they'll give the boot.....But works both ways, if you get offered contract during probation.......tell them Hasta La Vista.....
congrats on employment......even though permy...

Depending on what other options you have at the moment, I would probably take it.
Get the most out of the situation that you can - training, new skills etc. and then when the time is right, get back into contracting (if you still want to by then, of course!).
I'm almost at the point of considering any reasonable offers for my skillset...
(Oh, and congratulations - any offer is good news at the moment)Comment

Yeah WHS.. get in, rape the training budget and CBT's. Gen up and join the market as an uptodate qualified professional and reap the rewards then.
Show some eagerness to take on new work/areas but make very sure it fits nicely in to the contracting market.
Some big companies are big in to this make your own future edict. If you got that level of flexibilty use it.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!
