Update: I was trying to delay this a little by not sending my CV in but the (very pleasant) lady at SalesForce called me today and we had quite a lengthy discussion about the role on offer. Seems interesting I must admit, and the package on offer is pretty decent for a permie role. Best of all is the training they give in SalesForce products, along with shadowing to get new guys up to speed.
The main problem for me is that it is a consultancy role and so will involve travelling - mostly UK based but possibly Europe too.
The was some discussion around me being a contractor, which she wasn't aware of, but it didn't seem to be much of a problem for her. It might be for the hiring managers though... we'll have to wait and see.
Next step is another telephone 'chat' with a hiring manager, and then a call with an architect who will speak tech to me (no idea what though, and hopefully nothing to do with Saas!), followed by a face-to-face and then finally I will have to give a presentation! Seriously I'm not sure I can handle all of this (for half the money I'm on now (actually a third after tax )) ... but I'll go along for the ride
In the meantime, I'm gonna keep on billing....
Will keep you up to date
