Newbie Contractor already been asked to go perm

[Lance]

I'm 2 months into my first contract and have been asked to go perm when contract is up in Sept . They haven't mentioned money but boss said they asked agency what the process was to get contractor to perm.

I am completely thrown didn't expect this so soon especially on my first project and its not even nearly delivered yet.

I am flattered but also a bit gutted as I'm only just revelling in the contractor perks of more money..hate awkward conversations about money and I need to earn a set amount to support family, and I don't think they could offer that perm.. But they may surprise me.

Has anyone turned down perm offer and continued to get contract extended? Or was it game over and time to look for a new company.

yes

Well I certainly wouldn't agree to be employed by someone who would employ me. I do have some standards.

Nicked from Groucho and I claim my 5 pounds.
