Ok I have never had a permie role. I have been contacted by a pimp looking for PM roles paying £45k plus benefits - commutable from home. Should I sell my contractor sole?

Considering Permie Work
Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -

I actually think lemon sole is tastier than dover sole, and it is much cheaper [not that that matters to a high-living contractor such as myself].Originally posted by TonyEnglishOk I have never had a permie role.

Ok Ok enough of the typo thingy. Should I plump for permiedom? I have never worked as a permie. Looking at the tax calculators, after fat Gordon has taken his cut, £45k is not that much is it!
Then they are including a car which means that the fat controller will get even more of what's left!

Tony, £45k is jack all. I would not even consider it unless you are living in lo-cost Scumville and your commute will be a 5 minute walk to work. Tube drivers earn that much.Comment

It is jack all. But if, say, you get 550€ a day in Europe, so have to commute weekly at a cost of 150€/d average, and every year have 2 wks enforced public hols + 2 wks holiday + 2 times 2 weeks looking for contracts, then you're not really better off and you're away all the time.Originally posted by Lucifer BoxTony, £45k is jack all.

If it is close then use your car and tell them to give you cash allowance for car to be part of wage.Originally posted by TonyEnglishThen they are including a car which means that the fat controller will get even more of what's left!
Don't think it is a question of money (at least for me) - being a permie requires special frame of mind.Comment
