    Only started contracting because I couldn't get past the agency firewall to get to any interviews. Kept being told I was over-qualified or over-experienced for the permie role (since when was being too good a disqualification?) Never stopped applying for permie roles, but I really feel that the industry is only looking for automatons - if anything novel needs coding or implementing they can always outsource to "plenty cheapness" land.

      Not one hell of a chance of going permie!

      I'd star some other business rather than go back being permie.
      I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

          Who are these three permies here?

          This is a contractor board. You'll have to post under a different name if you're a permie. Or you could hang out and be a chicken I suppose, in agile speak.

            And it's permie, not "permy".

              Permie or contractor, you are all doomed. There won't be any job in a couple of years for nobody. ohh wait... that makes still contracting a better option...
              I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                  Permy singular and permies plural?

                  In three months time, who will really care how you spell it. We're all doomed!

                      I shall not question it further then.
