It was amazing how quickly what looked like being an easy wicket turned into a nightmare place to be and I was back contracting within 18 months. That said, well done again and hope it all worked out. If nothing else, you'll be better for the experience.
    Ditto.

    But having gone back contracting... I know miss all that backstabbing. So in the interest of getting back to perm.

    I agree with Oracle. He's the man.
























































    What a knob.

    For a small monthly fee you can continue posting while permie. The monthly fee is determined by job title. Associate Director is quite high up from memory, will check when I get into the office on Monday

    Congrats on the new job, sounds like a winner. You will not be alone here posting as a permie!

    Sorry, wasn't meant to sound negative, thought I stressed my congrats a few times. I do think it's worth cautioning that permanent jobs are not always what they are initially cracked up to be and sometimes contractors have difficulty adjusting so best to go in with a balanced outlook.

    2 years in this job with a bit of skilling up thrown in it will shift me up to the £1000/day bucket in my area, should be comfortably semi retired by mid 40s.
    Do they give you decent pension contributions as well??
