Annual salary contract

[ASB]

Fortunately this one is paying far more than a permie job. Benefit to joining the company pension scheme is to get their contribution which is typically double yours and at least 9% total.

On the assumption that it is a fixed term contract you may have more rights than you expect; essentially same benefit packages etc. Sam redundancy packages (the problem here is that it is 2 years before they kick in, as per a permie employee).

Depends where you are and what you're doing, but £65k/year is not unattainable as a permie, in London certainly.

Just finished. It is a contract with an hourly rate. The figure had been presented to me as an annual amount. It assumed no holiday including bank holiday. A bit misleading. So not much better than permie for me.

Hmm, 65k a year is something like 250 per day.
That's a pretty bad daily rate for a contractor, even if you are a junior.

My thoughts also. It is half the rate I could get if went contract based on what some of my colleagues recently left for. I don't think I will be taking it. It is outside London although I live in London. I have another interview next week for one in London.
