It all depends on what you want most from work/contracting - money, skills development, work/life balance or happiness? I contract to allow more time off each year but my income has worked out a bit lower than I planned.
During a contract last year, I turned down the chance to go perm at the client. Whilst the salary was fairly good, there was little package so overall I didn't feel I could take the drop in income. I've since started another contract and I really miss the previous role where I was a lot happier. Sometimes money isn't everything (though it helps!)Comment

i have recently been approached about a perm role working along side a mate of mine. Good company, good tech etc. Offering 100k plus stock, WFH mostly . I normally contract out at 550-650 a day which is more but doesn't factor in perm benefits etc and I'm commuting 3/4 hrs a day on average, what does the learn-ed panel say? Take it or stick to contracting? It may be worth a punt IMOComment

Take it, give it 6 months and see and then go from there.Originally posted by WTFH View PostTake it, if it works out great, if it doesn't then back to contracting - you're not losing out by doing it
I've done it a couple of times for a 100k base + shares. I've found that overtime that's grown, with my last gig getting to 250k a year with all the shares/benefits. Once you reach that point though you feel like you've become owned.
Anyway, nothing to lose.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
