So, I've been to the meeting. Sounds like a good deal to me, but also from reading posts on here sounds a bit confused. At least I am. It's decent daily rate, but was stated as a fixed term contract (nearly 12 months). Can both happen at the same time. Haven't seen any paperwork yet but it's on it's way.

All contracts are a set length with extensions moving the end date out by a further amount of time. Good daily rate, 12 months, sounds like a great opportunity assuming the work is enjoyable and the commute doable.Originally posted by Thunder View PostSo, I've been to the meeting.

When it arrives get the contract reviewed, most accountants have this service, or QDOS, or Bauer & Cottrell.
Is the rate what you would expect a perm in the role to get or 2-3x as much? May be they are trying to get a contractor at a perm rate. Where are you located, rates vary by location and sector.
Good luck.Last edited by Scrag Meister; 6 July 2012, 07:30.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment
