      I guess when I was totally and 100% broke, then I would look

        If the right permie job came along, I wouldn't need to wait.

        Whilst I enjoy all of the benefits of contracting, I wouldn't allow it to get in the way of a good deal (c£150k, company veyron, company yacht, 200% pension etc etc).

          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  I think that every place I worked at as a permie has either disappeared or been taken over. Only one company I have contracted for has disappeared completely - there must be a moral in there somewhere.
