Which one to choose?

Dear all,
Last week has been good to me. Had 2 interviews..did well in both of them... Had an offer from one of them and I'm waiting ton hear from another. One more interview is likely to happen next week.

Now the scenario is

Contract A - large bank. Large project...likely to last well over 2 yrs. I cleared the interview ...they offered my last daily rate minus £25



Contract B : solvency 2 - 6m contract- equal to my

Equal to my last daily rate

Contract C: job advertised at my last daily rate. Solvency 2. Likely to be 1yr contract..not sure yet.... Interview likely to be next week....


Which one would you take if you were me?

Happy that things are moving! Didn't have to relocate to London!!

I'd take the one you were offered

Nothing is set in stone and just because you have interviews there is still a lot that can happen - they offer it to someone else, role gets pulled etc...

Keep those plates spinning until your contract is signed and your bum is on the seat.

Congrats! Market is so so IMO so I would be happy to be in work

I come out of contract in the next few weeks and have interviewed for the same rate, have an interview lines up for £50 per day more and have applied for jobs £150 per day lower than my current rate!! For me, being in work is more important than not and holding out for my current rate (although clearly I would like to maintain it).

Assuming you get offerred any of them and actually get to choose, take the one with the highest guaranteed return: two years on £500 a day is worth a lot more than one year on £800. And yes, I know you might get an extension, but equally you could get binned in the first month.

Don't forget though, 2 year gig means no tax free expenses from day 1

Sorry Mal, 2 years 1 day means no expenses from day 1, surely? Only when you know you are going OVER 2 years?

Picky picky....

True, but since the OP said

likely to last well over 2 yrs.

it's a moot point. Contract A shouldn't be claiming expenses, since there is a reasonable assumption that the contract will go over the 2 years.
