The reason I say that is important is I think there is a very high likelihood that you will leave in 1-2 years. Just from burn out and being former contractor.Comment

What happens in year 2? What kind of gig will you be able to get next? Is 1k a day inside your normal rate or is that quite exceptional? So it looks like the Inside gig might edge out the perm gig in year 1... but what about years 2, 3 4 and onwards?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

The perm offer is a 6-month notice period, after the 3 months of probation. In my last perm (very political horrid broker) I was put in the garden, then they tried to dismiss me for some BS to avoid paying the full amount (I’d been there under 2 years with no rights still).
Notice means not a lot to these types of firms (under 2 years anyway), only when it suits them, that’s one of the reasons why I was initially leaning toward the contract.
my usual rates have been 750-850 outside, I’ve also had perm roles at 130. The perm offer does look somewhat better this time, also I’m at the point where I will value the paid days off.
Thanks,
BobComment

I had a similar decision, also in financial services - not quoting numbers though. Went perm three months ago, no regrets. You can always go back out there and at that level you're a money machine in bonuses and benefits....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

was in similar position and ended up taking perm as I had just completed MVL for my company and wanted a safety net for two years. Only additional detail to look out is the bonus %. AFAIK if you are in financial services none of these firms commit to % of bonus in contract. in my case bonus was not mentioned in the contractComment

Is it just me or have salaries really gone up - In the past (2010) I think a lot of people in finance thought of 100K as the magic number whereas now it seems quite a few people have reached 150K and it seems more normal. So is 150K the new 100K and are these jobs paying that as common as I think they are

Sorry if I missed it, but what's your preference in terms of being part of a company, long term retention, career, etc? Is there a progression beyond this role or is this what you do and will continue doing for the forseeable?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
