Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostThat's half the reason I do contracting. I like applying, speaking/negotiating with agents (genuine ones not the fishing type), going for interviews and then choosing between multiple roles. If you find that bit a pain then you are right: you ain't cut out for contracting.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Funny Im in the same position. Liked the challenge and variety at first but now I'm in a gig 5 minutes walk from home, in a congenial team, lovely managers, no open plan office and there is talk of permanent jobs coming up through internal promotion. Especially since HMRC has just sent me a demand for £2k, even though Im inside IR35 and have paid my tax religiously like a good girl it looks as though some of my PAYE payments have gone astray. Accountant says she can fix it and it' not uncommon but it has taken up a fair chunk of a very much looked forward to day off this week. Plus I have stupidly miscalculated by VAT and will have to claim a refund. Obviously I'm not really cut out for it either.
Whatever suits you is best.Comment

If it looks like the right move for you, do it.
There's nothing stopping you from going back contracting at a later date if the situation changes.
Oh and please remember to hand in your badge on the way out of courseComment

For exactly the same reasons I went permie last year. The last 10 years have been a permanent long distance commute, and it's clear that would have continued but on a lower rate than the past.
I agree with the hassle of going for interviews and fighting through technical tests, what a pain. Nothing worse than being told at 5pm to write a test program by tomorrow morning please.
I think if you can find a company you feel comfortable, round the corner on 50K that sounds gr8.
Go for it...I'm alright JackComment
