    Went there, did that for 2 years, got made redundant 4 weeks ago. Back contracting again

    Congratulations, good luck and hope it all works out!

      Fool!!

      Every time it is appraisal time, I get a feeling of horror - as appraisals at my place are not even salary linked - pretty pointless.

      More seriously - congrats. Sounds like the right decision. Is it nice and local for you?

          Also regrettably considering permiedom. The shame. Will only do it if is as good a deal as it sounds though (which it probably isn't)

            Thanks all. Sadly no Vectra Diesel company car.

            It's about 25 minute drive, or 20 minutes on the train with a bit of walking at either end. I'll probably plan on taking the train, get pissed off in the first week, and use my car. Nice to have the option though. I used to do more or less the same commute in reverse many years ago.
            Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              well done!

              no need to go anywhere though, there seems to be quite a few permies here - plus if you need to take on any contractors in the future....

                Well done. Absolutely no problem with dipping in and dipping out so to speak.

                Always take the best deals on offer regardless of whether they are perm or contract. (See you back here next year )

                    I'm not surprised.

                      +1. Nearly 6 months into permiedom now. The appraisal sh1te has been a pretty easy hurdle to grin & bear, otherwise going good, topping up my CV how I wanted. I'll give it another 6-9 months and get all my hols out of the way before I start looking at the contract market again probably.
