Renewal will be closely tied to the company's ability to secure more business from the customer. If not why pay more for a contractor?

If more multi-year revenue is secured then naturally, the chance of conversion will be high provided you are a good performer.

don't believe your agent! was previously sub-contracted for a year, was told if good performance would convert to perm after 3 to 6 months.

However, after went in realize the norm is to engage 1st year on sub-contract, 2nd year direct contract, only 3rd year onwards would be considered for perm role.. quit within a few months..

your agent is unethical to have made that commitment on the company's behalf. They probably ever work with only the HR dept and not directly with the business. Neither HR nor your agent would have line of sight to the business or for that matter to the end customer.

The slightly better approach is to discuss possibility of extensions with the hiring manager directly and get the commitment from that person. Once you start that conversation, you will quickly realise they won't commit beyond the contract period, unless they too lack ethics

Depends on grade. 20k is just promoted junior director, on average directors should be 25k - 30k. IIRC they also have mthly car allowance of ~3.5k.

Yup I know for a fact that some project directors make 40k pm. Seems they do reverse pegging to the government elite service.

Directors in NCS not so high lar. At most only 35k, some maybe only exceed 30k slightly.

With bonus, it's easily 500k per annum.
