No less than 70 K to go permie if circumstances changed signifcantly. But no plans in near future...Contracting 'The Lifestyle Choice' TM Teabag cottage industries.

A bonus of 15 to 30% would make a big difference (although this is quite rare and most of the time is just on paper and disappear for an unverifiable sudden change of circumstances - i.e. to give a bonus of almost 20k).Originally posted by AtWLOL - they put bank holidays as a perk, but AFAIK all permies are entitled to it automatically!
Also relocation - it should be possible to claim some tax back for up to few grand, think 5-7k when you have to relocate.
£60k does not sound that much, though to be fair that is a lot more than I earned when I was a permie

V, who's boasting? You asked a question and I responded.Originally posted by _V_£60K (that means take home £30K)
Pension means nothing unless you are in it a long time and it's final salary based.
BUPA cost about £500 pa. Whoopeee
Company Skoda, well if that's something to boast about, god knows what you were earning as a contractor.
Well done, looks like you've hit the big time.
Now, where did I put my last monthly invoice for £9K......
The Skoda thing is an in-joke with Milan.
AtW, you are again spouting tulipe, there is no legal right to Bank Holidays...
Can my employer make me work on bank holidays?
In some cases, yes. There is no general legal right to time off on bank holidays, though it is a common practice to give time off.
Many people have the right to bank holidays written into their contract with their employer, or fair alternative arrangements such as a paid day off in lieu or double pay for working on a public holiday.
But if you don't have this, bad employers can ask you to work on public holidays, or make public holidays count as part of your 20 days' annual holiday entitlement as long as you are paid for them.Last edited by Churchill; 14 September 2006, 09:21.Comment

Bonus is a carrot that you may never get. It maybe different for high level positions as people there may know better if they are gonna get it or not, but on reasonably lower levels bonus is just a mirage.Originally posted by FranckoComment

We should have distinguished whether it's London or the Midlands for example, as 60k in London is not the same as 60k somewhere else in UK.Originally posted by AtWI've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment

I left a (almost) 100k job to go contracting -- not for the money but cuz I just couldn't work for that outfit any more. It was more of a lifestyle decision.
No way would I go back permie unless I was offered a job with the following :-
- within 20 minute commute
- paying well too.... I'd probably be OK with 60k for a local job
- 4 day working week / or option to work at home
- don't have to work with women in my team (I know this sounds odd, but I work with 2 women and 10 days out of the month is taken up with their Period stress being taken out on me).Comment

40-50k + bonus + all the other tulip.Comment

I agree with Taz, working with women is a nightmare as their behaviour is always unpredictable. Send them back to the kitchens and bedrooms !!!Comment

Would definitely go permie..but the location would have to be right. I only commute now as I can expense it.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
