You should do all you can to butter up your client, because it raises the possibility of higher rates and better contracts.
On a related note, has anyone ever been offered a permie job that really did pay more than the contract equivalent? And did they turn it down because they preferred the freedom of contracting?Comment

I left my last perm role at end of 2009 and was on 89k basic with 15% bonus and shares.
I would now only go back into perm for a very senior management or directors role.
I have a prelimnary offer for a role starting at the begin of 2012 in the USA. I plan to contract all this year and if all works out i plan to head off stateside
next year.
