Unless it's a contract where you will be liable to pay back the cost if you leave early.

Hmm very good point!

Turned down; didn't want to relocate at the rate/salary offered (decided I'd lose money)

Back to the bench...

Welcome home, brother.

Don't forget to take sickies, two or three days mid-week is good as you can get good deals with the airlines. Permie near my desk had just done it. I guessed by the increase in skin colour and then I showed him the post-it note where he wrote down the flight times!

What an idiot!

Yeah WHS.. get in, rape the training budget and CBT's. Gen up and join the market as an uptodate qualified professional and reap the rewards then.

Show some eagerness to take on new work/areas but make very sure it fits nicely in to the contracting market.

Some big companies are big in to this make your own future edict. If you got that level of flexibilty use it.

Depending on what other options you have at the moment, I would probably take it.

Get the most out of the situation that you can - training, new skills etc. and then when the time is right, get back into contracting (if you still want to by then, of course!).

I'm almost at the point of considering any reasonable offers for my skillset...

(Oh, and congratulations - any offer is good news at the moment)

Take position, they'll probably want probation period, if they don't liike you, they'll give the boot.....But works both ways, if you get offered contract during probation.......tell them Hasta La Vista.....

congrats on employment......even though permy...

I agree with this, congrats your in control now

Are you skint ?

Not yet...


Not convinced the cash and effort is worth it; although I might regret that decision further down the line

I used to be indecisive...

If you do accept then please leave your CUK username at the door.

try it, you might like it. If you don't you might have learnt something from the experience.
