Advice on contract vs a 12 month FTC?

[simplicity]

The FTC is basically with the same terms as a permanent role in regards to NI etc.

Take the contract role.

Take the FTC role.

Both of these are right.

Only you know which one is right for you, though.

Update- the FTC company increased the salary to £50k and I verbally accepted. But now my contract job have upped the rate to £260. What do I do? I feel bad to turn down the FTC as I verbally accepted and the job is interesting but my contract role will give me more take home pay as I'm ltd. I've been in same contract for some time.

Both of these are right.

Only you know which one is right for you, though.

Apparently not.

I think "Simplicity" hijacked my thread!

Anyway… I accepted the FTC at an increased offer of £48k. A week later the other company finally decided to offer me the contract, but it was too late. The work involved in the FTC is going to look good on my CV and I'm sure it'll make me more competitive in the contract market afterwards.

Sorry I did hijack! I accepted the FTC too....
