Hi Guys, long time lurker but decided to sign up to the forums, I need some advice as i know a lot of you have done contracting and wonder what you would do in my position.
I took a 6 month break from my career and decided i wanted to start contracting I got offered two interviews at two big international companies (one being a big car manufacture (Company A) the other being a big insurance company (Company B) the roles are only 2nd / 3rd line support a couple weeks ago.
I got offered a contract at Company B and started this week on £x00 a day come Wednesday i then got offered a contract at Company A (who took a week to get back to me) offering £x40 a day. I then told my agency and Company B then upped my rate to £x50 a day. I then told Company A agency I have to turn down there offer and then got offered £x60 a day - both 6 months contracts.
I now don't know if after a week at Company B i should move to Company A i feel it would be a major tw*tish move to pull on them, they all like me there and settled in well and don't know if the grass would be greener on the other side, however Company A is closer to my home but half the distance and a lot less traffic and it is £10 more a day which is £50 a week or £250 a month - it does add up. I just feel Company A like me and up my rate straight away, i know it would be out of order to move now and if i had both offers on table at same time i would have chosen company A because it is closer to home and a little more money and better shifts (7-3) as appose to (9-530)
what would you guys do, i don't want to feel like the bad guy but feel I would be letting the agency down and the company i started with down to jump ship and don't know if the grass will be greener on the other side.
