Renewal regret
I genuinely hate it, it feels more junior, and the relationship with the client seems to have changed for the worse - not sure what happened - whether contractor person was making good progress and exposing weaknesses which has caused friction, etc etc etc, but like I said I did get a rate...- Les67

Renewal regret
tbh, I was in a managerial type role and making a big difference in moving a bad project forward, now the original managers seem to have taken back the helm (I think there has been some internal kickings) and I've now become 'hands on' which means I've become part of the problem rather than part...- Les67

Renewal regret
One month into contract renewal and all change - for the worst - much worse. I put the feelers out and there is the potential for a new gig (different agent).

Perm to contract - what would you do?
Truthfully, yes. Relying on 20 years with long service, excellent reputation and a leap of faith. I've got the bug, and the pragmatic view that everyone needs to start somewhere . Plus, I keep looking at my perm daily rate, compared to contract daily rate - apples and pears I know, but....- Les67

Perm to contract - what would you do?
Hi, in a bit of a self induced pickle. I want to move from perm to contracting. Told my employer a few weeks ago, was very upfront, and offered to contract for them. They declined and after some to-ing and fro-ing they are insisting I work the end of my 3 month notice and are playing absolute...- Les67
