It appears I am the "preferred candidate" for a role at RBS.

Bit of background:
I was headhunted :snigger: before Christmas for a role in my field
I went to look because the role is very much my professional niche, and well, why not?
I was/am well aware of the issues that have engulfed RBS over the last 12/18m and what they might mean in terms of going to work there
I felt that if there were a shortage of good candidates for jobs there (as there must be, let's face it) then that would put me in a very good bargaining position, potentially
The job in question is a good role - a step up for me, but I'm confident I could do it
They want permanent, I'm currently contracting though not in theory averse to going back to perm for the right job
I've proposed that I do 6m temp and transition to perm at that point
It's not a done deal yet

So the question is RBS, would you? Or would you run like the wind?

Thanks in advance

Hi there - long time no hear!

I wouldn't see it as a problem if I were in the market for a legal job (I know you do something different but the principle is the same). I expect the stuff happening as a result of ongoing integration with ABN / separation of various businesses is quite interesting.

I know someone in the legal team there if you'd like to have a chat with someone about politics there? probably only relevant if you were in the same business line.
