      Whenever I'm talking to someone about a permie job, the agent tells me about the great package and how they offer "up to" 25 days paid holiday.

        At which point, the negotiations tend to break down.

        If it's going to be that many, then the salary needs to be significantly higher to tempt me back.

          Last permie job I spoke to an agent about was looking quite promising. Salary would have made up quite a bit for the lack of holidays.

            And then they decided that they wanted to pay about £20-30k less than the agent submitted my CV at.

              Instead, they are still paying a contractor to do an interim role there, while they look for the right person.

                He's been interim there for about three years now, I think. He and I interviewed at the same time.

                Maybe it's 2 1/2 years.
