Straw Poll - Which would you take?
Maybe, but work (very) close to home is very important given impending sprog. -

Straw Poll - Which would you take?
What I'm actually surprised no-one has said is...."take the permy job for a year or two....the contract is six months and there aint a lot out there so you could quite easily be out of work for six months and more and end up with less money". -

Straw Poll - Which would you take?
I've been tipping £100k gross with regular 45+ hour weeks...BUT the contract is only 6 months with the prospect of being replaced then or possibly earlier if clientco can recruit enough (SC clearable) permies. It'd be 9 months notice so quite a bit of security, but on the other hand I'd be... -

Straw Poll - Which would you take?
It's only £100k if you can guarantee to be in work for the second six months, and 12 months next year...etc. -

Agree, it doesn't harm to get a widespread quote of views though. -

Project Management, liabilities are £200k mortgage and a baby due in April :happy And it's 15 minutes from the house. Shush, I'm persuading myself. :nerd -

One big thing I didn't say, got first baby due in April, and a big mortgage! -

Straw Poll - Which would you take?
I do have a bee in my bonnet about it, I guess I want someone to override it by telling me I'd be crazy not to take stability at the moment. -

Head (boring permy stability) v. Heart (contractor mentality/benefits) Conundrum
Day by day the project work would be very similar. A benefit is that I'd be able to get involved in more strategic work ie proposing/implementing department improvements rather than being excluded.- TFour

Head (boring permy stability) v. Heart (contractor mentality/benefits) Conundrum
Clientco has increased their offer by 15% to a final one which is now 32% higher than my hourly rate x 1000. Just trying the make the case now for compressed working hours i.e. 9 day fortnight - this really would make a massive difference to my work/life balance at no cost to them.- TFour

Head (boring permy stability) v. Heart (contractor mentality/benefits) Conundrum
I'm not really sure what answer I was looking for - something that says permydom isn't that bad!? Clientco has global grading so no chance of an individual contract.
