Contractors get contract renewed, usually every year or so. Thats time for renegotiation, never hurts to bring competing job offer. Asking politely leaves money

Being contractor for 4 or even 10 years is kind of fishy. Most countries have a law that converts temporary contractors into permanent employees after N years (4 in Ireland).
- JAlexoid 4y agoI really hate being an employee in EU. I don't want to be an employee. I want the flexibility and lack of those crappy "what do you want to do in 5 years" type of convos. I know what I want to be and it's none of my client's business. I currently have to lie to my employer about "what I want to be", because there's an expectation. What if my employer doesn't like the fact that I want to show off my feet on OnlyFans in 5 years, instead of being their "lead architect"? I have literally moved out of Ireland to avoid being an employee.
- disgruntledphd2 4y agoThere's a lot of contracting work in Ireland. What's your area? If it's around the data space I might be able to put you on touch with some people.
