After 12 years of contracting I am moving to the dark side. This Thursday will be my last day as a contractor.

I'll alert the patent office. They'll probably want to take on more staff.

You will be back once you've had a 12 month appraisal and 360 review.

Don't forget the stretch goals.

I've gone permie twice during the last 10 years of contracting. First time lasted 6 weeks and second 4 months. I'm NCOTBAP

Problem wif the yoof today, no stamina.

Good luck, and I hope you don't have eight bosses.

If only I was young enough to be a "yoof". My only boss is the CEO

All managing you in a matrix management style?

which just means 8 people trying to get you to do their work for their pet project which is needed so they can worm their tongue further up their bosses arse and increase by about thrupence their take home pay?

Without giving a fook about you?

Ah welcome to being permie......

Believe it or not, there has been good advice on this site. I would like to say thanks to Cojak, Mudskipper, SiMac, Norrahe, Admin, Scragmeister and many others for enjoyable CUK Dinner nights, although SiMacs arse on Liverpool Street was not a thing of beauty.


So, as a long time lurker (mainly in Technical) I would now like to apply to be a CUK alumni.

It's a rare contrcator that doesn't have to go permie now and then.
Nothing to be ashamed of provided the skills you obtain enable another 5-10 years stretch of lucrative contracting

[Old Greg]

I made it a year because the cash was great but I hated myself! See you soon

I did get a decent relocation package, so it wasn't all bad.
