OP, hope it works out for you mate.

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostI think I've fallen into a bit of a permie mindset. I'm like 'meh' with most things work wise now. I know I shouldn't take the last minute offer of a contract extension after my 'termination' last month. I should just forget it and wait for the US role I was 'offered' last week. Head of terms was supposed to arrive yesterday. Now Thursday, still no contact. I'm not going to chase it up. Now in limbo and more 'meh' than I think I've been in my entire contracting career.

I've kept my head down the last few years and put up with gigs just for the cashflow, but you're right you'd rather lose money to have fresh challenges in the end
Besides part of the contractor lifestyle is taking a few months off when you fancy it, and you can't do that in most permie jobs
It's not all about the money
