Maybe I will go contracting again before too long

I am now permie. And it has worked out well. I have been able to get out of IB and into a hedge fund.

Straight up. I was a lucky permy.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostI have nightmares about finding out some of the sockies on here are in fact real
Until we got made redundant.
But that led to 20+ years of happy contracting.

I enjoyed my permiedom, doing interesting stuff in engineering and computers.
It ended 20+ years ago mind. I worked for some good bosses who saw me all right for promotions and pay increases, and I didn't have to bend over once.Leave a comment:

Actually lived through this nightmare - It was brutal. Ass fell out of current skills, couldn't buy a contract. Panicked and went perm, 50% pay cut, had to look at prices again, performance reviews from a total bellend, miles from home too and the warchest got burned so quick I could barely believe it.
Took me 3 years to reinvent myself as someone else, get another job with the right job title, lie and cheat to get out of there and finally scored a contract.
6 years back in the game and still scares me that it will go bump. Plan B is get a warchest so big and generating so much income that I am immune from this dodgy business. Need a good few years yet though....Leave a comment:

Nightmares about Permiedom
This is a serious thing by the way....
Has anybody else suffered from recurring dreams of going back to permiedom?
In my dream:
- I suddenly leave contracting to go back to one of my permie roles
- I see how the place has changed and I remember all the bad things about being permie
- I look at my payslip and see how much I am earning
- I wake up with sweats and a great deal of relief....
