    Argahhh! It's happening again

    Been offered another Pre-IPO Silicon Valley Company, contract to perm (try before you buy) gig with an offer of a great perm package and equity or a stupid rate if I want to stay a contractor, all with the same people as the last two.

    I feel like I'm being groomed again.

    What should I do?

        Pretend it's real and then regale us with the stories of exotic travel, first class flights, and going to the wrong airport.

        (Only kidding, I know it's real - turn it down. You hated the last one, your kid needs you around, and it's not like it's the end of the world to stay here)

            If this is genuine I would consider moving to the US.

                  Rightio, now clientco has asked if I fancy becoming perm.

                  Never say never is my motto, but clientco has thrown an extra swerve ball into the usual calculation process which is

                  Do you want to be employed in the UK or in the Channel Islands? Whereby the Channel Islands is just 20% tax I also understand there may be some double bubble taxing issue, and I would only plan to stay there half the week(or 3 days). Anyone know Channel Island taxation?
