Depending on your skill set 650 inside seems pretty decent for current market conditions. Who knows what the perm offer will be but just deal with that offer independently.Comment

Nluk is right to an extent. It’s good at the moment
650 a day London finance used to be the norm with some guys on more. Remember the rbs spreadsheet leak of contractor rates ? Some people were 1200 plus plus
I wonder what those 1200 outside with the uplift would be today . 1500 from a 25% upliftComment

During my consulting days around the same time, I was lined up to take over from a colleague who was working at a major bank on a 'risk management' project. Turns out that was a euphemism for 'creating a simple Access database to manage some project risks.' And the client was being charged well over a grand a day.Comment

Not that it matters much but I went on a ir35 calculator, which showed that for an inside ir35 contract at 650 a day I'd need a 117k permanent job to get the same take home pay. Never ever going to happen. What they're most likely going to do is offer no more than half of that as a starting salary (so 55-60k) and then add the benefits.
Now I'm thinking about applying just because I want to see what the permie offer will be at the end of the 3 months (if they offer it, mind you)Comment
