very happy for you, and many s and s but can three years be considered contracting? that's longer than most permanent positions - I would think any IR35 Cred is straight out with the 24 month rule?
As an aside, I got the role directly with the client but they have a payroll agency intermediary who will pay me. I had a right old circular argument with the agency about how I must opt out or I'd be considered an employee, they'd have to take PAYE off me and so on. It was a pain walking through their "Legal Officer" through why opting out is not possible if I've come through being found, interviewed, offered by the client THEN introduced to the agency, he didn't get that that's almost 100% the wrong way round!
Edit: Also, large mergers and integrations often take 18+ months, the larger the longer. Stage 1 is the core merger, Stage 2 is the core integration finishing with a single organisation. 3 years is about right for that. Once that's done, the company will have absolutely no need for me or my skills, if I were an employee they'd have to make me redundant.Last edited by craig1; 31 December 2013, 15:37.Comment

I've already got my Programme Tech Lead lined up... I've worked with him on more than a few projects now, he typically earns a good bit more than me due to his skillset. He does all the tough techie stuff for me and leaves me alone to do my programme level stuff, I do the opposite for him in protecting him and his techies from politics and programme stuff. It works fairly well for us and I don't have to break in a new Tech Lead to my rather unique manglement styleComment
