Had similar myself - client A told me the contract was closed after interview. I took contract with B. 2 weeks into new contract A comes back with +100 per day over A with the agency pushing me to jump. But I stayed. End of the day I didn't like the way A messed me about, figured if they were going to start out like that it was a bad sign.

I have decided to give the private job a miss (LTSB) and stay in my current contract. Only time will tell if i have made the correct decision, the item that swayed it was the structural changes that are occuring at LTSB - the last thing i would want is walk into a 6 month but then be told after a month your not needed due to a re-structure. It was hard enough getting my current contract...

If clients are important you'll not jump.
I operate in a niche market and because of that I've never broken a contract, I've chosen not to extend plenty of times for sure, but that's different.

i have asked to speak with the client once again to firm up my exact role, projects etc... will be meeting them next week, that is the only way i can make a comparison to my current role... more time to think about it over the weekend!

still undecided... the private gig is a shorter travelling distance and it is paying more, although its in the banking sector (might be volitile)
By the way i have a 4 week notice period - if i decide to take the private gig i would have been at the public gig for 3 months.
Only a few hours before i get the call from the agent!

Originally posted by zamzummim View PostUnfortunately I have put myself into a similar situation, I have an interview with major bank in the city on Monday, agent nagged me to apply for a role - paying £100 a day extra, even though he knew I am not available. I've been in my present contract for over a year, was told I am to be extended until new year. My present contract pays less, but its 15 minutes away from home, work is flexible, remote access if I wanted to work from home etc, on top it all, I have become quite close friends with the program manager. I can't deny a £100 extra a day is really tempting, but is it worth having to commute to central London, deal with assholes in the city?
