I've been at my current role (inside IR35) for almost 2 years: 3 months + 3 months + 5 months + 6 months + 6 months. I've just accepted a 12 month extension, so this will be my longest contract to date.

I'm staying at the same rate, so in one sense it's a pay cut (given the imminent changes to employer's NI). However, looking at the state of the market, I don't think this is a good time to get greedy! Also, the fixed rate on my mortgage runs out in a few months, so having a bit of stability should make the re-mortgaging process go more smoothly.

This will also give me time to do a few more exams and make some progress on my Plan B. Fingers crossed that the market will be looking a bit healthier in a year's time...
