Hello folks,
I have been offered a salary of 65k by a company but I declined saying I would prefer a long term rolling contract on £500 p/d. The consultant came back that the maximum his client can offer is £450 p/d (this is after a lot of negotiations). So my first question is should I accept £450 or should I be considering 65k annual salary. This question is entirely based on financial aspects because if I use salary/1000 then I should be looking at £650 which is absolutely too much seeing the experience I have. I am an engineer working in oil industry, so there would be offshore work as well. Dont know exactly how much but it would be roughly 6-8 weeks a year minimum. That means £160 quid allowance per day on top of £450 p/d (£610 total), but with the 65k it would be somewhere in the range of approx £250-300p/d on top of salary.
Would appreciate if any one from the oil industry or someone with experience like to share their views on the situation.
What would you do if you were in this situation? Contract would likely be long term..years...
Also I have used a lot of different take home pay calculators which show approx £6k monthly take home (salary+div), but have talked to few accountants and requested them some rough numbers. Their take home pay is way less than £6k. Anyone on or around £450 here? Would appreciate if you can throw some numbers about the take home pay.
Cheers,
Sam
