    Mortgage broker recommendation?

    No was with BM. They were originally happy with my contract ending in 3 months. Then they took so long it was coming to end of the 3 months and asked for another 3 months (fair enough). They were happy again and sorted the survey. A couple of weeks after this they then said 3 months wasn't...

    Permanent Offer

    Yeah this contract has been perfect. Although an hours drive I finish at 4 so home for 5, work from home as and when, worked from home for a month when little one was born. Project has gone so well they want to bring it in full time and spread it across the company with other staff.

    Permanent Offer

    thanks all the quick replies. I would probably be happy with 55-60 + benefits (car/car allowance etc.) - and think that they may offer around here. Even on that I know I wouldnt be coming out with as much as contracting. I like working at the place and could possibly get working from home...
