I really can't subscribe to this way of thinking. There's NO WAY I would even entertain such a thing. I'm not sidelining my Ltd company of almost 20 years because some clown has decided all contractors should be on the payroll or brolly. **** 'em.

Needn't be that harsh. I could stop contracting tomorrow and not need another billable day for at least 10 years.

Similar thing happened to me in October. Wouldn't give me penny more on my daily rate for a renewal, so screw them. Rate was way too low at £450 per day anyway.

After 3 months on the bench and almost nothing in the pipeline, I'd take any contract at £300

It's January 2nd - and most job sites have timed out all adverts over Christmas. I would be waiting until January 13th before starting to give up hope - let business get started up again.

You are right, and thanks for the words of encouragement. Actually, today wasn't too bad, got a few calls.

The rate shouldn’t be the issue. Getting out of a contract that moves you from outside to inside should be the issue.

Depends on your location surely? You're on more with a bad rate than no rate.

I'm fortunate enough to have built a war-chest large enough to able to reject their offer. Which is why I'm rejecting and I'll try to find something outside IR35 and work on personal projects for the next few months. Plus a much needed trip to Asia.

I find the whole thing incredibly unfair.

What's unfair? The world changes and you have to identify a new place in it.

That's not unfair it's what happens daily.
