Back to permieland - 1 month in

See You Next Tuesday -
I turned down over 130k at one of the large consulting shops.... Bollocks to being a slave to the directors/partners.
Two remote outside IR35 contracts is the way to go. My ass will be semi-retired on a Spanish island once the kids are out of their expensive schools.

Loving my new perm role. Nice new desk chair provided for home, top of the line laptop with B&O speakers, welcome pack, etc.
As much as I miss the variety of contracting, it's nice having a break from living out of a suitcase.Last edited by ConsultingTechArchitect; 24 May 2022, 12:04.Comment

16 months in permieland and I'm done. Back to contracting in 4 weeks.
Permieland experience was very good and everything went according to plans. I tolerated the lower income in exchange to learning some new skills which granted me a nice contract at a good rate (best rate I've had so far, even if it's inside ir35). Exactly what I wanted: public sector contract where nothing is delivered in time, this should lead to a steady flow of dough for the foreseeable. Happy days.Comment

Outside ir35 contracts are scarce, tend to be shorter (2-3 months) and with rates lower than they were 5 years ago. Inside ir35 contracts rates are the same as 5 years ago.
So yeah, the market for UX/UI Design is not brilliant but if you're good and have good relationships with agents and clients you can still make a living.Comment

There is a bit of presenteeism creeping back into the industry now. Good on principled contractors for voting with their feet against such rubbish.
And nothing says "we have no money for pay rises and we care about staff morale" like shelling out hundreds of thousands of pounds for commercial property that no one wants.⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

I guess you live far in the northern nowherelands, love the WFH trend but hate to realise full WFH was always a temporary thing, and as soon as the next recession comes your a** is going to be in 3-4x days a week ! Or you'll just get outsourced !Comment
