Depends what you're being offered as a permie rate and to a number of other factors, some of which are...
1) Size of warchest
2) Your view on risk
3) Level of disruption to your current family life etc.. you can put up with
If you can stand most of those to a greater degree I would carry on down the contracting route to be honest. It doesn't seem completely on it's arse to me at the moment an a 3 month notice period seriously undermines any chance you have of coming back in the short term future IMO.

So - is this time to go to the Darkside.......
I'm a general Project / Programme Manager, Banking / Manufacturing experience, last 4 or 5 years Govt / NHS
Govt / NHS going down the swanny fast, seems difficult to get back across to Banking as experience out of date (although as PM it doesn't really matter).
Have been asked to apply for my current Contract on a permie basis (NHS) before Contract gets cut
don't want to but thinking I may have to. 3 months notice period - yeurrkkk
so am I over-reacting or are things as dire as they seem?Tags: None
