If you feel you're worth £250k then it's a bad move however if you feel you're worth £25k then it's a good move, how could anyone on here possibly know?Originally posted by Soled73 View PostAssuming you had decided to take up permi position somewhere, would you consider a move to RBS, salary £80k benefits on top?
Is it a good place to work for the next 3-5 years?Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

No 9% bonus with a contract.Originally posted by joey122 View PostContracting at 550 will yield 135K which IMO is MUCH better then 80K.
No holiday
No training
No sick pay
No medical insurance for you and the family
No benefits
No guarantee that you will be there for a year (yes permie guarantee is not great, but more secure than contract)
The big figure looks nice from the outside but in reality it's not as much of an increase as you think.Comment

That's right. Trade in paid holidays, sick leave, pension contributions & possible bonuses for the smug satisfaction that while you are still told what to do, you don't have a boss.Originally posted by Ardesco View PostBecause it's not all about the money...

Could it be a path to the really big money banking positions? The contractors get good money, but the beneficiaries of the looting/bonus culture are permanent.Comment

Once a year you waste a day filling in a form and spending a couple of hours telling your boss how great you are and why you deserve a big raise. Then you probably get a raise. And, you get paid for the wasted day.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

May I ask for which position? Would you be happy in that role?Originally posted by Soled73 View PostAssuming you had decided to take up permi position somewhere, would you consider a move to RBS, salary £80k benefits on top?
Is it a good place to work for the next 3-5 years?I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment
