Starting new contract next week. Dont want permie. Nearly did it last year. Company messed me around over pay, behaved disrespectfully and I realised to much BS so no thank you to that
Would only do it again if looking for career change or taking a different path (PM or something) and only if company has some respect for potential employees.

I managed 19 years at my last clients. Admittedly it was all over the world. I took a permy job with them about 4 years ago.

Contractg here - had a break where I did 2 years of permie, but picked up a contract same week I left the perm role....I'm that good!

I am staying on the contract side despite being made several offers to go permie at my last contract, which I kept turning down.

Big risk but right decision inside

Kinda both really, long time / permanent contract with main client and other smaller jobs as they come along. Plan B taking over too.
