    I didn’t like arguments etc which did make me anxious as to when the next one would be.

    I’m sure not how they would react to me saying I can’t express my fears but they must be aware that we don’t speak on a deep level.

    Hello Anita, my parents were not disapproving. My mum and dad had a troubled relationship but never separated (officially).

    I have never fully been able to express my fears and concerns with them. Only with my partner.

    Hi Anita, yes i think i will but the market is tough at the moment so it’s not as straightforward as that.

    I will continue to try and manage my anxiety.

    Hi Anita,

    Yes, that’s what I mean.

    It probably wasn’t his intention and is just how it’s played out.

    Hi both,

    I have accepted the new role and am looking forward to the move. I am currently working my notice in my current position.

    One thing that has happened that has made me feel indifferent is that one of my friends/colleagues has been offered the role I am vacating. A few weeks/months earlier he was encouraging me to take the leap with this new role/challenge.

    It doesn’t bother me as I know I have made the decision that is best for me as I was unhappy etc as stated above. Just wanted to get this down off my chest.

    Hi Anita,

    Yes, it would be direct contract with the company I am working for until the end of 2019. The hope is that would become permament after that.

    Hi Guys,

    Regarding savings, I don’t have a massive amount but will just have to be careful with money during this assignment.

    Before I accept any offer, I will reiterate to the company that I want regular updates on how all parties feel its going and the chances of it becoming perm/extended. I do feel a lot better about the situation now I will be a direct employee of the company. That instantly makes me feel a little bit more stable. I will speak to them later today and hopefully they will give me the weekend to think before making a final call.

    Hi Anita

    I appreciate you coming back online to respond. The revised offer they gave me meant I would not be a contractor. I would be a direct employee of the company so would get all the company benefits etc, just on a fixed contract. The goal would be for it to become permanent at the end of this. Tax, holiday etc would be covered by the company.

    I turned down the original offer because I did not want to be a contractor and have no holiday pay etc as did not feel it was beneficial to me.

    Hi Anita,

    Yes, it’s a good sign that they have made these changes to try and get me on board.

    I know it’s the fear that is making me question it. I’ve always wanted to work here and know that deep down.

    The risk is there because of the length of contract  but it could become perm if it goes well. I don’t have huge savings to cover the mortgage for a longtime and would have to back myself to  work again if this didn’t materialise to long term.

    They did previously say that we would have regular updates during the tenure about the future of the role and whether it would extend.

    Hi Anita,

    They have come back and offered me a revised offer.

    I would now be a direct employee of the the company for a fixed contract until the end of the year. I would be entitled to holiday pay and all the other benefits.

    The decision is now back with me and if I view it as worth the risk.

    Thanks

    Hi both,

    I am UK/EU based. I do not want to be a conractor but this company is somewhere I have always wanted to work so was prepared to go and proove myself and try and earn a perm position.

    The rate was still higher but I do not want to set up a LTD company for 6 months. I have an accountant in the family and they advised me agaisnt doing this. I let the company know this and they are looking into other options and will feedback to me.

    Hi Anita,

     

    The plot thickened over the last few days. I verbally accepted the offer but then found out from the company that in order to process payment it would need to be done via an umbrella company or I set up a ltd company in my name.

     

    I wasn’t aware of this process at all so think it may have made the decision for me.
