Has anyone tried to push for a longer/shorter notice period for contract gigs? Would like to hear about successful and unsuccessful attempts.
A couple of the top tier banks I'm interviewing with are about to make final decisions (potentially on Friday/Monday), and with Brexit looming it doesn't feel safe jumping into a contract gig with them - simply put I don't trust them (recruitment process has been very slow and wishy washy). If successful for the 12 month gig, I was contemplating asking for a 3 month notice period and for 6 month gigs I'm thinking about asking for 1 month notice.
Bearing in mind these are "critical" VP level roles at behemoths and the recruitment processes have already taken 6-8 weeks. What are they likely to say?
If it's of any bearing, one is FTC PAYE (12mth gig) and the other is an outside ir35 day rate (6mth gig).
