              Well....

              Contract in place / agreement with brolly on portal
              Rate is the same, duration is the same, payments terms are now as per verbal agreement (the brolly slipped a 3 week delay in, "admin error" lol)
              Exiting permiedom tmrw
              Start Contract on Monday.......

              + I also passed my online tests for another permie position and they want me to interview - its now not required but may try the lets talk in 4 months approach.

                Nothing wrong with that.

                  Certainly, good luck but do keep your options open till you've passed your first month.

                    This is exactly where I am as well. Contract due to start on Wednesday of next week. First ever contracting role.

                    Good luck to us both.
