Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostIn that case, it may not be worth jumping ship as one could wind up back at the same rate anyway.
Jump ship as nicely as possible, citing some reason other than the other company. People are far too honest about all these things... better still, find someone to cover your work there. Harder, unless you know and trust someone enough to do so, and they have the same skillset.
A 33% increase is not to be sniffed at. Your name will hardly go down in the black books of contracting history.Comment

Still, it might get to the point I have nothing on the table and I am happy to login with a number and I have burned my bridge.

Karma says new company will offer you a 12 month contract. You'll jump ship. New company rejigs the budget, and terminates your contract after 6 weeks. Old client goes on to retain your replacement for 2 years.If you have to add a , it isn't funny. HTH. LOL.Comment

Oh, and I agree with what you said on the last page, "Very kind offer and I would love to accept but I would be letting people down, maybe in 4 months"Comment

Do it, take the money!!!
Originally posted by minestrone View PostProbably not but it's an architects role at an IB I am getting offered, I would feel pretty bad but then I have done bugger all since about December, I read the web mostly and might be able to deal with it by telling myself I am doing them a favour. They do run my pension, badly if I was being honest.
Sounds like my job at the mo.
I am sooooo bored, but hey the money is making it to the bank!!Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

It all depends on you being prepared to live with the consequences, really..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

For god's sake don't be loyal to a corporation. They screw their employees everyday. Been the victim of offshoring at all?
The decision should be entirely based on what is good for you. Reputation vs opportunity. Your call.Comment
