What would you need to earn to get tempted back to permie land?

[expat]

When moving from contract to perm, you’ll find that for many it isn’t about the money. It can be for a number of other reasons: desperation, lifestyle changes, security (perhaps more in terms of location than job), upskilling, career progression, end-of-life adjustment etc.

Just end-of-working-life adjustment, I hope.

You don't need to earn on the bench. You live off NLYUK.

I earn monthly salary + dividend each month I am on the bench. I am just not invoicing.

I was making a point that not everyone has that so permie salary starts to look attractive. You can't just compare a yearly salary to the day rate you are on.. But I bet you knew that...

Out interest if you have spare cash you can divi when on the bench why not divi as much as you can as soon as you can and get it in a high interest account or something?

Indeed, or some offsetting a/c...unless there is no mortgage...

I was approached for a permie job last year, I wasn't interested and the youngster on the phone badgered me to name a number - so I did. He then proceeded to tell me that wasn't reasonable and tried to negotiate me down, it was a fun 20 mins sparring until he gave up

Yeh I've had that too. They gasp and say you'll never get that in wales. EXACTLY which is why I dont look for perm.
