Apologies to those currently benched, maybe you had a good day anyway.

Dull dull dull contract.

Plus just turned down(jeez

) a 100K perm job in France for a massive IT Company

If I'd taken it, I would have been so busy I wouldnt have been able to post on CUK again for another couple of years.

ClientCo just FedEx'd a load of new music software and some cool hardware to play with as well.

Surely no such thing as a dull contract, turn up and invoice, a contract is a contract. I did walk from a couple of contracts back in the good old days when you could walk into another gig next day (having knocked back two others).

Anybody been around long enough to remember agencies trying to persuade you to leave current ClientCo for another gig at more dosh? Maybe two or three calls like that per day.

No thats a fair point. I knew I had this offer coming, but it's a toss up between something 'career' and all encompassing (ie perm and ridiculous hours like my last job) or a nice and simple 9-5 contract which pays near the same, and no baggage.

I fancy the career role, but need to be in a happier place to take it on. Just invoicing machine for now I think.

Planning to close the shop down when the lease comes up in 12 months, knock the retail on the head, and then taking the family to New Zealand for 6 weeks in April next year.

makes sense tbh

There is no such thing as a career in IT. Money is King.

Wow, got me there, I actually started talking sensibly to you

won't happen again

What a great day at work
