Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Dude.
Flights are cheap.

If the perm is at anywhere near the level of the contract...this is a no brainer.

I know there are other circumstances that could affect that decision...but ferchrissakes be selfish...Benefits, salary, stability...these are things that would be nice for a change.

And I know the "bad guys" are gone...but do you want to put your fate back in the hands of "the drinkers" ;-)

Worst case scenario, you know you can live at near zero...so find cheap living down there...pound it out a couple years...get the skills polished, use tuition reimbursement to get some new skillz and jump back out....you'll have some savings to fall back on.

New What percent
of my current pay would you accept?

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
 
 
New For the employer...
...they'll view your fringes as costing them 30%...so they'll try and drop your rate when they add benefits and vacation.

However, you should be able to get some play from you having to move. This always creates additional expenses over and above what they will pay.

If you could get them within 15-20% of your bill rate (not counting the travel expenses) you'll be doing well. (and you can go to the doctor and stuff :-)

All that reasonableness aside. --->If they like you, and they see enough value to want to extend you to permanent. They may be willing to bite the bullet and overpay. You are a known commodity to them and that is worth $$$.

Don't be bashful when negotiating. They know what your making now. You only have to reinforce that with that statement being out in the open.

Plus, do your value equation. How much have you >saved< them in reduced fees to "the drinkers". How much can you continue to save them. Make sure they know this as well (though I'm sure they do...which is why the perm position is likley being created in the first place.)

You can become mission critical to this company. Companies have a tendency to pay mission critical well.

My sister is down there...so I have a place to stay if you get a place thats really small ;-)

New well depending on your current wage
and how much markup was put on it you should make close to what you are now. I took a $500 annual hit on wages but of course make better due to reduced health care costs and parking monies. If you get close plus moving costs that would be a decent deal.
thanx,.
