How many people here turned permie -
Just noticed my attitude changes when moving from contract to permie - thought the overall package for my permies is very close to my contract (i.e. basic + bonus = contractor pay) and this is not counting all the extra benefits e.g. training/paid holidays/sickies etc etc.. mind you the tax situation is not as great !!
Any ho, when I was a contractor I didn't give a flying monkey about what I was doing or who I was working with, as long as I got paid am as happy as can be.
Now as a permie, though from a money point of view am getting paid well and very close to my contractor income, things do bug me, i.e. I actually care about work, and (gasp) I actually care about the team, I want to have interesting tasks to do, I want to have a good team round me blah blah blah (needless to say at the moment am doing crap low level data mapping analysis, and team members are lazy political fawkers)
I tried talking myself into just treat this job as an ongoing contract - but arrrrrrgh the devil within needs feeding day dreaming of becoming to be a contractor again ...
What does this mean ?? any success stories out there of becoming a permie and having a contractor 'don't give a $hit mentality?
