Wow, I'm in with the mods now! Watch it, NLUK, you're on a warning isn't he Cojak, we've both warned him, in a double-teamed scenario due to me in with the warders. Of course I meant mods, not warders....

FTFY

Some contractors I've known have taken permie roles when nothing has been available just in the interim to tide them over I'm not sure how that works when you're LTD

Actually you're not Ltd. A Ltd Co (that you presumably own) is Ltd. That has nothing whatever to do with your taking a job.

You may call that pedantic but if you had kept that in mind, you wouldn't even have thought of asking the question in the first place.

Call it relative inexperience and no I wouldn't call you pedantic, I'd rather say thanks for clearing that up for me

As it happens I am pedantic, but it honestly it is very useful to keep in mind always the complete distinction between you and a company you may happen to own.

Totally WHS. This ever so slight change in thinking can make a huge difference to your understanding of your situation and finances. Many of the questions on here wouldn't be asked if people could grasp this.

I'll take that into consideration when I decide to incorporate it in April, thank you both for your advice

[Mephisto]

I think this is pretty normal considering that so many more permie jobs appear to be available on ratio to contracts. I have a tendency to entertain the position providing it meets a minimum annual salary, decent client (sorry employer) and isn't further than a few feet from my door.

Most permie roles are at risk anyway for the first 12 months I reckon, so treat it as an opportunity to gain experience with a good company (if it meets the above criteria) and ruthlessly exploit them for all the free training they have, before leaving them in the s*** for your shiny new contract

[The Spartan]

Yeah there's no such thing as a secure job anymore

If they read my cv they would know that I am hardcore Excel VBA contractor, with a little c# on the side.

So why TF do they ring up asking me if I am interested in a perm .NET team lead role!!!
