I've worked about 15 years as a permie, and then the last 6 as a contractor. Thing is, I've always taken long term (3yr+) contracts due to wanting a bit of stability, having a big family and that. But now I'm thinking I might be better off moving around between short contracts, staying outside IR35 and basically milking my experience and skills for everything I can before I get too past it. It might also keep me fresh, perhaps.
So, I was wondering, what are people's experiences of the nomadic lifestyle - 3 months here, 2 months there? Is it any easier to pick up short-term contracts compared to longer ones? Does being outside IR35 make enough of a difference in take-home pay to make the gamble worthwhile? Also... any other pros and cons, just list them. Cheers.
