After working here for 2 years on the payrolls of another contractor, I am now going to be converted into a permanent employee with the bank.

In our bank 70% are contract staff and only 30% are employees, in the IT dept, and its a great achievement to get on their payrolls.
I was by no means an outstanding performer, just a good performer. But the guys who were really outstanding performers just quit to other banks or went back to India after they were frustrated being on contract roles for years. So they had to do something to stop others from quitting. I am going to the 1st person in the deparment to get converted to Permanent role and this is going to annoy a lot of people who have been here for years(5-6 in some case). Just that the project I am working on is really critical.
So I am as lucky as one can get. Now getting PR will be walk in the park with the brand name that my employer carries
