deaconblues1 wrote:Hi, I am looking for work in London (Non-IT) and have gotten an offer with a bank in London. I have to choose between:
1. Permanent Role - This comes with some sensitive commitments, which makes me uninterested towards it.
2. Contract Role - for 6 months is what I've been told, not sure of the technicalities, yet.
I am trying to assess the contrast b/w a permanent and a contract role. I am more inclined towards the latter, but have little understanding of how this works. I have no UK experience.
I need help on the foll:
1. Would contract work mean lesser pay and longer hours?
2. Would contract work mean no benefits, holidays, sick leaves etc.?
3. Would contract work mean reduced chances in future prospects?
Experienced fellas, please advice
Help would be much appreciated
Cheers

Hi all,netacct wrote:I would not take fixed term contract unless my survival become difficult.
Its not worth. You don't get benefit of either contract or permanent.
I love thisI come to London to have fun - not to sit in an office on christmas.
Thanks. The situation is not quiet desperate. I am already working for a month now and I like the place. But I wanted to move only because of the higher salary and better benefits. Also, my present contract gets over soon after which (if it's not extended) I will have to again go through the job search thing - But this time I expect it to be easier because I have some UK experience.netacct wrote:I love thisI come to London to have fun - not to sit in an office on christmas.
btw, working in Bank is not that honey as it sounds. Its bit tough.
Coming to your original question, I will not take Fixed Term Contract.
I was unemployed for some time and I did get few calls for fixed terms contract but said NO to all of them unless they offered very great salary.
Just think, why they wanna offer you fixed term contract and not permanent/contract.
but again, it depends on your situation and personal circumstances.
I'm rather new to all these. What are the differences between a fixed term contract and a regular contract position?netacct wrote: Coming to your original question, I will not take Fixed Term Contract.
