Presume the rate cut was because of the client and not because you were in Canary Wharf ?

Originally posted by itjobs View PostI am contracting in Canary Wharf, had some issues, invoked notice period on Friday the week before and and started applying. Last week Monday, client had a meeting with me and convinced me to stay. Promised and almost removed all blockers that made me invoke notice period. However, I received calls based on my earlier application from Friday (when I invoked notice period) and now I have received the offer (just few buildings away in Canary Wharf). Rates are better than current rate by about 15%.
Now I am in a dilemma. Current contract is till Dec (after taking a cut of 5%). Should I continue with current client (probably helps build long term working relationship) or Move (as the rates are better but takes time to establish in a new place, there might be a 10-20% cut within months of taking the offer). Due Brexit there might be a possibility that I may need to look for a new gig after December wherever I am.
I am confused. I understand at the end of day, its my choice and interest but would appreciate some inputs.

I would not agreed to have stayed.
Now you have agreed you should stick with it. Clients accept a certain amount of messing about. You are about to cross the line.

You are an adult.
Being an adult means you have to make your own decisions.
All I can say is from permies I know who have been offered better pay to stay at an employer when they decided they want to leave, they end up leaving within the next 6 months anyway.
