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

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

          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.

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.
