Well done.

FWIW I have done exactly the same as you, for exactly the same reasons and with a view to staying here for about the same amount of time!

I've got a bunch of very desirable skills that are being put on the cv so it's a case of 'this time next year, Rodders...'

I'm not selling out! I just need to ride this recession wave and see where it takes me. I'm not too sure I want the role, but I've only worked 12 weeks this year and need to keep monies coming in, if I don't get it I will be worried but I won't be bothered, there's always the next contract (wherever that is)

Anyone else having this problem? would you go perm for a role that is 10 mins away !

Having worked 12 weeks less than you this year, I'd go for the permi role if I thought that the employer would give the job to me, but I know that he wont. I'll be up against another 50 CVs from equally qualified guys who don't have the baggage of being a contracotor.

I even lost a possible contract role last week because the guy had receiced so many good perm CVs that he decided that he didn't need to consider contractors at all, even for a "start tomorrow" role.
