This is a bit of a newbie question and I've searched but not found the exact answer I am looking for... How should I approach a renewal if the client is talking about it several months before my contract end date?
I'm on my first contract which is 6 months. With over 3 months till the contract end date, the client manager has informally raised the topic of renewing my contract. I know they want to recruit a permie and it might take at least 3-4 months to get someone on board. I think they are desperate to keep me because I have also been asked 'what might I be looking for in a perm role?'
So, when would it be most appropriate to talk about renewing? Should I do it now and get the original contract extended to say, 9 months? Or do I wait till nearer the time and get a new contract for an extra 3 months?
Any advice?
