Contractor to perm - how much money to expect (part timer)

[BABABlackSheep]

Saw this on a job ad, which I suspect to be for lloyds.


"This is a permanent role with the salary range of £60k to £70k per annum plus benefits. If you are interested in contract, the max rate is £400 p/d until the end of March then the role will be classified as inside IR35."


Just one case but kind of gives you an idea of the companies' point of view of day rate/salary equivalence.

That’s not Lloyds. They have a blanket policy of the end date being the 28th Feb working through a PSC.

I agree. Outside London £400 a day roughly equates to 60k + benefits, although, there’s a lot of people on £400 a day who wouldn’t get a £60k Role as they tend to be senior.

I am on 650, and I asked for 110k, while their offer was 90k. Didn't go well for anyone.

I had the same situation. Was on £550, offered perm, asked for £90k, they came back with £75k+10% bonus = £82K, pretty much said take it or leave it, I accepted, said they'd wait until 6 months was past to avoid paying agency fees. They then delayed the offer keeping me on a contract, then started suddenly finding spurious attitude problems, three months later I was gone.

Didn't go well at all! But no regrets

If money is your priority why are you even considering perm?

60k VS 38k in govt....

At these salaries, why would anyone ever want to work in govt?

Well some govt orgs give opportunities to get involved in stuff that private sector cannot, there's more motivations than just money

So, kids, the lesson here is: public sector jobs make you sour and grumpy like gables.

Being a permie makes you grumpy. Even more so in public sector as you’ve got to retire to make it worthwhile.

Absolutely not, neither sour nor grumpy, happy as I am switching between private and public sector contracts.

Maybe you just didn't like the reality of the truth.

Well because 38K isn't the top of non-management, around these parts it's a smidge under 50K. Also I don't believe 60K jobs are ten a penny, not around here maybe London, and certainly won't have the same working conditions.



The arrogance is palpable, suggests everyone in private sector is not tulipe, which from experience is not the case.



You ruined this with your arrogance. But I'd suggest the smart money would be on a 50K role with it's pension and working conditions rather than 60K private with it's undoubtedly tulipe pension.

Because they are tulipe and can’t get job in private sector

Probably yes.

Also they lure you in with chunky pensions and other benefits such as wfh and flexi time, plus obviously the fact that you'll be paid to do feck all.
