Long time, need to update this.
Firstly, wife's dad died in November. Cat died in December, wife's mother died in Februrary.
Agency for BAE have got a bit impatient. And I need to give them a start date.
My current client, have continued to prefer me to work from home, due to a small office, but the discussions on my future, put a permie job offer, well in the "yeah, I can see where you got that figure from, but no"
That is the earlier discussions where ballocks.
They continue to pay me, and I'm now getting into thier office about once a fortnight. But I'm a touch bored. And demotivated.
So the other day an ex boss contacted me via LinkedIn.
He is looking for a permie guy to be his operational excellence director. I asked over the phone why he was thinking of me, and he described Someone I barely recognise.
I mean, my mojo, is clearly a bit lost along the way.
Anyway. The long and the short of it, he's the UK MD. His boss in the states wants to interview me on zoom, with a view to me working for the UK MD.
It's at a level that I've never quite attained, but with a boss that always got the very best out of me.
Salary, plus pension, car etc. Would be more after Tax than I've had as a contractor.
Woukd have to spend 4 days near Spagetti Junction, but that's 55 mins drive from.my second home.
Spoke to wife about our aspirations, and she's encouraging me. For her it's not about the money, but about me feeling like I'm making a difference.
So Tuesday afternoon, I need to prepare.
I also need to tell BAE that I'm not working inside IR35 ever, if only to help them see the error of their ways and help other contractors.
