How to Decline A Contract Extension?

How to Decline A Contract Extension?
BolshieBastard - speaking to my father in law, he also suggested not getting into the reasons. Just politely decline and say my circumstances have changed. Thanks for the advice to you all. Just wanted another perspective as I'm sure you've been in the same boat at some point. You feel like...- Tealer

why such big money ?
I must admit, my primary reason was for the money. Secondary reason is the bs / politics of permie world. I missed out on a role that I was better skilled / experienced in, all because the other person was better known to the manager. If I am overlooked for a contract role because some has...- Tealer

Hello & Some Guidance Please
Hi cojak, thanks for the welcome. The above is what I really have difficulty with. I've done some reading of the site and first timer guides. I'm happy that I'll be going with Ltd, and I understand about rewriting the CV. How do I re-present myself, do I have to present my cv as the company...- Tealer

Hello & Some Guidance Please
Well, I've decided it's time to stop working for the corporate man, and work for myself. Been working in IT for over 12 years now, and I'm finding that permanent wages just aren't getting any higher for my skills. I don't know whether I'm not selling myself properly, but I've been in 3...- Tealer
