Have applied for three permie roles in the last month.
One offered me job but not enough money.
One may or may not offer me the job but I won't take it.
The third - I am waiting for a formal offer and if it arrives will take it.
Reason: I am stuck in an industry I am desperate to leave, or at least not still be in in five years. Permie job is different sector, industry and job function so there's no way I can step into it as a contractor. Also, public sector contracting is becoming a pain with some (but not all) clients.
The loss of tax advantages and flexibility to work part time when I can will be painful, but it is part home based / part office based (35 minutes from home). Certainly won't miss the commuting. Pay is 180 x my typical daily rate.
So if it comes off, I will sit on the CUK naughty step until I'm ready to rejoin the group.
