loved the contracting life. the independence etc. never struggled for work.
however, the IR35 crunch approaches!
my client is blanketing all contractors within IR35.
have been offered a perm or fixed contract position. total package (including pension contributions) is 143k
+ health care, life insurance, income protection and various bits and pieces.
either that, or go brolly or have a holiday over the summer with my family thanks to big warchest.
am very tempted to take what looks like a no brainer offer. what do you do?
Go full permie? take a year fixed contract and watch the market? brolly? Holiday?Leave a comment:
