Permie or contractor, that is the question!

£150k + stock, unlimited expenses and unlimited holidays.

Yeah - that should do it...

£60K + BUPA + 9% Company Pension + Shares + MSC Sponsorship + Car + Bonus(15% to 30%) + 25 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays + Relocation

£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......

LOL - 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

So who will be 1st out in the coming crash - permies or contractors?

**_V_** · 13 September 2006, 16:54

Crash? Don't talk wet.

We'll import another million immigrants and live off our house price inflation.
