    It occurs in industries where you have access to business sensitive data or business critical systems.
    It also occurs if you are senior in large organisations.
    Yeah I am not doubting it just haven't seen it. I work in data too and have to have full access to do my job but have only had 2 perm data jobs in my life, rest have all been contracts. Both perm jobs I left on good terms and had good relationships so maybe that helped. Who knows.

      Not just sales, IP is very important in many markets too.

          true but not usually as portable or reusable as a contact list of customers.
          It's a given that sales people, when they move, always bring some pet customers. It's why sensible companies have sales people on quite long probation periods, as they bring a boat load of business for the first period. If the sales dry up after 3 months then that's all they;ve got.

            That's a bit like CEOs - if all they've got to boost profits is to suggest job cuts then bin them off. They're just a good BSer who presents well.

              Take the contract role - you either like it or don't like it, or they extend or serve notice, but then you just get the next contract.

                don't forget the school. Most CEOs have been to a certain type of school.

                  I'd say it's even simpler - why look at perm if you want to be a contractor?
