Just to jump in.
I'd like to go contracting but my permie job is too good to give up at the moment. I earn 60k ,either work from home or at client site, eat out all the time on expenses, nice hotels, paid holidays, paid to go to training, paid to go to conferences.
This week I'm in Stockholm. Start at nine, clock off at four, 10 minute commute from 'hotel'.
Worst thing is going a lot of places where you don't know anyone and being sent to sh1t holes like Halifax....
... as a contractor though how much freedom do you really have? Can you really decide to take 2 weeks off this month, a month off another...surely you have to fit it round contracts.
How much do you guys make a year typically? Does it whip a permie 60k?
