I have a permanent offer to do tax in-house for a bank but it’s to start in 6 months (when the current contractor at the bank finishes). My usual notice period is 3 months but I’m skeptical they could keep the contractor on and rescind my offer? Any thoughts?

Accept and continue looking for the 3 months before giving notice. As your contract is a three month notice and the job doesn’t start for 6 months you have 3 months to secure something better. Also by waiting the 3 months before giving notice you are confirming whether this offer is solid. The silliest thing to do would be to give your notice now when you still have 6 months before the role starts.

Also if they have a contractor in role but are also looking to perm hire I would be skeptical as why wouldn’t the contractor stay? Why is the role vacant?

Thanks, those were my thoughts too. I’m considering to propose that I start 3 months early for handover/transition and guarantee my place.

I’m also skeptical the contractor could stay on (although I assume they would have already mentioned a permanent role with them knowing it’s vacant).

Role is vacant due to what seems like a sudden departure and difficulty filling the position with the right candidate (which apparently I am lol)

Hi all! I need some candid advice from y'all. How do I get my manager to see my value and see that I'm actually doing a lot of work? For some reason all the other departments & teams I work with always say how grateful they are that I've joined the company because I've really been cleaning things up & making their lives way easier. But for some reason in my manager's eyes all I do is "meets expectations". I already am doing senior level work as the only senior on our team left a month in... (1)
