Reply to: Gone perm. Bye

Desperate time calls for desperate measures...
I'm a permie since March - and it is rather crap, honestly!

[moorfield]

Personally I'd rather be Larry Blackmon's red codpiece than go perm, but needs must and all that, good luck with it.

Thanks all. There are some good ol' salts around here so I'll be sure to call in from time to time.

That'll be CUK in Hotel California mode - "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave".

We all have to do what's best.....well done in getting a job though!

[BrilloPad]

I hope it works out for you. All the Best.

Well done mate! I wouldn't criticise anyone at the moment - £20 an hour or permie for a while, we've all got a living to make.

So you've skilled up while you were off, you're going to get a couple of years worth on the cv - kerching in 2011!

Where?

It's mostly .NET Mobile / web / desktop software development with a bit of legacy maintenance chucked in on classic ASP and VB.

Good for you Good luck with it, hopefully you can go contract again when the market recovers.

The title says it all really. For me the contract market has been dead for months, I've been benched since the beginning of last October and the war chest is now empty.

On the up side the perm role work is interesting, it's a big company in the North West that seem fairly recession proof and it won't do the CV any harm for a medium term stint..well maybe a couple of years.

Montana will have to wait.

Good luck. Close the door on your way out, but hope to see you back here in a couple of years*.

I was a permy last Wednesday after a spell of six months in the wilderness. It didn't last. I left this Monday, which was too quick to even get my P45 over to personnel.

Ah well, good luck with the perm^H^H^H^H temporary job - the market's bound to pick up eventually

Do visit any time you're passing

Congratulations on being able to refill the warchest, even if not in the manner expected.
