For the last two client co's I've worked at the term "permy" would be a bit of a misnomer. More like "waiting for the chop-y".Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment

Some days CUK is a river of vitriol. But occasionally, one comes across a valuable gem that makes the bile all worthwhile.
That was one such gem: a Crystal of Truth.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

1. Location
2. Money (not just salary but bens as well)
3. Work I enjoyed
The trouble is, as a contractor my marketability increases with each new place I work at, so it can only go down in a long stint of permiedom.Comment

I work in IB. I'd consider going permie if I worked on the trading floor and didn't work for IT - i.e. directly for the business and with a business sized bonus....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

I'm considering going to my client and being made permanent if my business plans don't show any success next year. I'm the only one who knows all the insides and out of the software I've written for them. They have asked me twice in the past.
Not sure I'd get what I'd ask for though. Salaries in IT are a farce IMHO. compared to American salaries they are a joke.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

I'd go permie if I could be a company director, even of a small company, which I guess isn't really being a perm. That's the only reason I'd want to do it.
If I was forced into it, it'd have to be interesting work and a reasonable amount of freedom. I'd consider that more important than salary and perks. I have seen a few interesting looking permie jobs recently, much more interesting than anything I'd ever find as a contract, and it's a little tempting. But I'm not sure I can bring myself to devote my working life long term to somebody else's project.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
