    I'm not Wimslow, but...

    I fear he's having an effect on my thinking.

    I'm starting to get approached about some permie jobs paying more than my normal contract rate. They are more senior, but frankly I wouldn't mind some more responsibility as I'm usually quite bored in my contracts and finding it hard to move above senior PM roles.

    Anyway, someone knock some sense into me.

    Thanks
    Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.

      Being on the bench I've also had the unwelcome calls about permie roles too.

      I can just imagine the grief right now, and for the 50k they were offering, they can shove that.

      Forgot to add the 4 weeks holiday allowance too...

      Go permie? Nope nope nope nope nope.

      Resist it.

              That tells me you are selling yourself way short on your contract rate.

                  That's true. I have upped my asking rate - but no bites so far. Only been looking for about a week though
