well it's like this folks, 14 years .net contracting
and there's a .net architect role ten minutes down the road coming
up, and they are offering very good $$
I am doing my best not to get the role, not quite 'Ted' style but not far off
here's the deal....
I promised the wife, after this contract I would lower the utilisation and have breaks between contracts, that means two things,
from the end of this contract onwards, not looking for the next contract until this one ends, because in the past i'd always secured the next one before the end of the first one and finished on friday and started on monday - back to back, so by not looking for the next contract until after this one ends, I force a break between the contracts
taking shorter contracts, like 3 monthers or 4 monthers or 5 monthers, problem is in .net they normally run and run, so I need to figure that out
anyway there's this permy role, with good pay and conditions and 5 weeks holiday
two problems with it
it's an architect role, means turning my back on technical work
based on the $$$ what I would bank each year would be the same as if I contracted only 6 months of each year
I am leaning towards staying contracting and lowering the utilisation using the techniques described above
so I'll do my best to get this permy role, and see what happens if I am offered it and what to do for the final answer
What does the congregation think,
Milan.
