Currently permie on a cracking programme of work with superb experience – started off contracting, changed permie as no other gigs around at point of turning to the dark side, and I am enjoying the work (other than the usual permie sheite that goes with the turf). I am looking at all of t he IT quality for a huge company, not stuck in a project – I like the roving aspect to the work.
Permie moolah knocking towards £50K, so fairly good for permiedoom. However, costs are fuel and new car every 3 years due to high miles.
Job is 55 miles from home, but 7-3 is working well so only an hour each way.
Got a fair chance of a test manager contract 10 mins from home. Will pay a lot more, usual gamble as to whether it will rock on, or jumping for 3 months that may end up at nothing else.
Had a war chest, but mostly gone into a new house – savings are around £10K at present.
Given current turbulent situation, not sure what to do in these mad times – keep where I am until things settle in however many years, or, go for the local decent money, but with this accept that I would be losing what would be the best job for me if only I was still able to be on high contractor rates at current place……
Boils down to money, security and job satisfaction…….
