Unless you take responsibility for the code you write rather than getting paid the contract hours you are a contractor - very different from a consultant. I know, I was a consultant in the 90s and have been a contractor for the last decade, contracting is simple compared to consulting.
And yeah kids cause a completely new risk profile. The wife will feel one hell of a lot more secure for the next couple of years (which can have it's own benefits  ) and at least you won't be going through a probationary period - congrats.

Best of Luck!
Since you already work there it should not be too big of a jolt. I hope the compensation is about the same. I once took a full time from consultant (hey, I like permanent) and took quite a hit.

|
|
|
Yes, They were nice enough to match it as close as possible .
Yes Im taking a hit but its under 5% and I am ok with it.
cheers,
Super

Congratulations! I went to work officially as an employee for my best consulting client at one time. They knew me, I knew them, we agreed on terms, etc. ahead of time and it was a good choice. After 12 years, I left on good terms - actually gave them a 1 year notice.
I hope your situation works out as well as mine did. There's something to be said for the security and not having to work double to find clients!

You know those "fish" stickers some people attach to advertise "I'm a christian!" on the back of their car?
(Don't know why they bother - makes no difference to me what religion you are, particularly when you are driving. I just want to know you are competent to drive).
Today I saw one - until we got to the traffic lights: Darwin Fish[^]

Actually, they are not afraid of dying, since they then go to heaven. I would stay away from their car.

The best one I've seen recently was on one of those small sports cars us british sometimes call hairdresser cars, it said 'No scissors left in this car overnight'.
One day I aspire to having a signature.

Learned something new today then.
I just don't understand why they pick on Audi... (Not that I have one, but if I had the money, I'd like to have one - would that mean that I would have to change my sexual preferences as well then?)

Depends - some of them are Hairdresser Cars (The TT for example) others aren't (the R8 for example - you'd need to own a whole chain of hairdressers just to afford the servicing and fuel bills )

Please don't disillusion me about the TT, I like those cars, pity is I would not fit in one. I was disgusted a decade ago when the Skoda station wagon I hired had the same motor as the TT, went like the clappers as well.

I've always thought the TT looks like a squashed VW Beetle.

Now I'm surprised. I thought you are french (from Alsace, so I figured you only speak the 'ordinary' german)?
