From Permanent To Contract
So where can we draw the line between contractor and disguised employee? If I go back to the company after leaving, at some indeterminate point in the future, and I happen to be given the same desk and report to the man who was my manager in years gone by, does that necessarily mean that I'm a...- gazelm

Take it easy fellas, didn't mean to kick off an argument ;) Thanks for the advice though, interesting to get some different viewpoints on the situation - you've all been a big help.

Thanks for the advice guys, I appreciate your comments. So I have three choices: negotiate a permie pay rise, take an inside IR35 contract, or move elsewhere. I was originally going to move elsewhere, they actually caught me off guard by asking me to stay - I'll wait and see what actual...- gazelm

I've just handed my notice in at my permanent job and the company have said that they'd like me to stay on, if necessary as a contractor. I'd be doing a slightly different role, but working at the same desk, with the same people, and they don't want anyone else I work with to know I'm...- gazelm
