    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.

      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.

      Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.
