Now 3 weeks later I'm contracting there - I'll give you one guess who my desk is next to. Yep. The permie manager that didn't hire me, except I'm now doing a more "senior" role (if such a thing exists as a contractor as I don't sit in the management hierarchy).

This should be fun

So...

The Permie manager was correct in turning you down - over qualified...

You are in a more senior role...

Well Done!!
