20 Years For This

[OrangeHopper]

Twenty years as a contractor are about to come to an end. The war chest can't continue to fund my fishing habit so needs must and all that. The "contract of employment" sits signed on my desk and only needs to be posted.

Any advice?

Any advice?

Don't stop looking for contracts while you're living in permiedoom. Make sure there's a get out clause so you can leave quickly once you find a contract.

Noooooooooo!


Seriously though, if it makes financial sense and sits well with your lifestyle, get it signed and in the post asap.

Best of luck with it.

Yikes, 20 years and you don't have a retire-able warchest... what kind of fishing do you do?!

[OrangeHopper]

I don't want to return to the dark side but I would rather that than risk things by waiting too long for the next contract. I suspect only a very few of us get to retire early as it is.

Ô rage ! ô désespoir ! ô vieillesse ennemie !
N'ai-je donc tant vécu que pour cette infamie ?

Sorry but I have just posted the signed contract of employment (spit). The daily commute to London beckons.

Any advice?

Keep your Ltd running for a while. Check your contract, you may be on a shorter notice period for the first few months, use that to keep applying for contracts. As soon as you're permie the contract roles will start coming thick and fast. That's what happened to me; I lasted a month in permiedoom.

Fingers crossed the market picks up for you next year, if you've got a months notice you should be OK.
