Permaboomed

[basshead]

I have decided to return to the dark side.

My 3.5 year £400/day local gravy train is coming off the rails in a big way and there are no contracts locally in the last few months other than one over-subscribed £225/day role at a place which has signs outside that say 'Abandon all hope all ye who enter here'. No ta. There's not much within a couple of hours commute either.

So, with mouths to feed and mortgage to pay in mind, I've chased a permie consultancy role which is a move up the techie ladder, pays £60k and is all expenses paid with regular work from home. Got offered it yesterday

Once the market picks up I'll have skills that take me up a notch or two in rate. Or maybe I'll love permiedom again so much that I stick with it this time

Sounds very good - take it!

What did you say to them when they asked you "the question" about going back to contracting when the market picks up? Well done, BTW.

Its a no-brainer from where I'm sitting.

They didn't ask "the question"

I would have waffled about security, career progression, challenges, family etc if they had.

why say all that?
You contracted at one place for 3.5yrs. You were a permie anyway.
Did I just swear?

I brought in a sub at one point and had two other contracts running in parallel.


[size=-2]Ok has HMRC stopped reading this now...?

Yes you're right, and they could see that [/size]
