So it looks like I'm being extended at the day job but not sure how long for. There are internal movements all over the place. It looks like the lady that owns the role I currently do will get the role she interviewed for last week and if that's the case, it looks like my role will be recruited permanently for up to 2 years. I see 3 scenarios here:

  1. I've been in the role for the last 3 and a bit years, to save on having to recruit I may get a tap on the shoulder
  2. If they do recruit, and I am successful that way, I will finally get the job stability I've always wanted
  3. I will no longer be a contractor, so I'll get all the perks back. Leave, flex time etc.

Let's see how this all goes.
