You might have to learn Punjabi or Urdu as well...

Doubt you could make £100k (£68k or £73k net) there.

£100K PAYE nets you around £68K.

Contracting seems to get you £73K, hardly worth the extra £5K, given you have less security.

If you can get £100K as permie, and only make £100K pre-tax as a contractor then you aren't charging enough.

My role in permie land goes for somewhere between £30k and £50k (including car allowance & benefits) depending on the client (mostly the lower end). As a contractor, Myco will be bringing in WELL over £100k this year - I won't be crass by saying exactly how much. Granted, this year I'll be working every month, whereas normally I'd have at least 2 or 3 months off and bring in a little less.

If you mean SJD then you've picked the other rather expensive one around and they appear to be losing customers at pace. They were good to me for 7 years but had a problem with an accountant and lost trust. I did like their spreadsheet at the time but now I've used Freeagent it doesn't look quite as clever anymore.

I'm with SJD and I clicked this thread for a reason. They're okay - nothing I can complain about, but I dunno, just don't feel 100% confident in some of their replies.

But you're paying dearly for it.
