Permie Offer by client

[northernladuk]

Happened to me 6 months into my first contract. Turned them down flat, politely of course, along the lines of I knew the company wouldn't be able to make me an offer that would be good enough. Still there nearly a year later. Guess they can afford me....

They wouldn't ask you to go permie if they didn't need you would they. It is the cost of you that would have been the sticking point.

Just happened to me too... I told them thanks but no thanks - if I was to go permanent they would need to offer me something more senior.

They said they couldn't do it, so I offered my services again for a bigger project (at a 20% rate increase) and they agreed!

What recession?

My standard answer

I am not looking to work as a permie at this time. If things change I will let you know.
