Just happily accepted a 6 month renewal. However, during the conversation it was mentioned that they would like to make this a permie position at the end of the 6 months.....I told them they couldn't afford me

So they'll probably be looking to offload you early and find someone they can

I've got to agree with diver, thats the sort of comment you make when the 6 months are up.

That way the chances are they won't have a replacement in mind so you'll get another 6 months.

Foot, shot, yourself.

Possibly - I can even help them interview for the position

SR, the secret is to say, okay, let's do this 6 monther and then sort out a permie position here at the end.

Then stay quiet. Chances are they will forget until your 6 months is up, in which case you say "too late to sort out now, let's do another 6 month contract and sort it out at the end of that."

Keep stringing them along.

Agreed. If you give them the excuse to start hunting for a permie now, you might end up training the permie as well.
