I didn't quite finish the story on the OP here.

Shortly after being "asked" to go perm this mutated into "you go perm or there's no renewal".

So I found another gig and told them I would not be renewing.

I laughed involuntary the first time that questioned came from my client some years ago. Was a little embarrassed.

First time this was asked of me was over Office Communicator, as the guy was WFH.

was glad for the breathing space to compose a sensible reply

Personally, I'd rather someone at client rammed something up my backside thanthen ask me if wanted to go perm

FTFY

a polite No would be sufficient to avoid joining.

Obviously you have some unresolved issues.

I got asked that recently. But it is 190* day rate. Plus good pension. Plus bonuses.

I've been contracting for 25 years now and I have been asked this a few times by clients, going on past experience that means the company is on a path towards either being bought by a competitor or going bust.

Nobody was so quick off the mark.

For others of us who have been asked this, it simply meant that we were good at what we did.

You've just lost the contracting equivalent of the game in that now they've asked you are now a disguised permie and caught inside IR35.

Beat me to it but FTFY

Yes, but when your client asked you to just GO!!!..................Permanently!!.....they had something else in mind than a long-term position with the Company.

HTH
