How much would you need to go permie, seriously?

200K + flexible hours + 30 sick days a year I can spend on the beach

And remote working so you can 'work' while dynamite fishing

I thi k many of the responses are taking in to account there are tough times ahead and are factoring in some bench time rather than a like for like comparisons.

Exactly this. The IR35 reforms in April might cause the majority of clients to drop contractors causing a massive flood of people on the market. At that point the £500 - £1000 per day contracts will be replaced by £100 /day and the £80K permie roles will be filled and gone in an instant.

Enjoy your "freedoms" people, the freedom to be hounded by HMR&C and eat out of a food bank.

Are there any contractors left on CUK? Seems the site has more permies, ex-servicemen and retired gammons than contractors these days

Shall we collate a list of names and national insurance numbers? I think HMR&C pay a bounty for dobbing in tax avoiders...

Yeah ... lets

BTW, I put myself inside IR35 and go via a brollie, so no skin off my nose

My permie role is:

£100,000 + bonus (typically around the £30k mark but it varies with company and personal performance).
Share options
Pension
Private medical
Flexible hours
Work from home 2 days a week minimum.

You can keep the contracts for now, this suits my lifestyle far better.

Who on earth would pay that as a perm. Most jobs outside London don't pay that unless it's at director level. All architect and dev roles come around 45 to 80k mark.

Once Boris the Liar has done his thing you lot will all be on Universal Credit.

HTH.

Absolutely howling at everyone on this thread bragging about their permie salaries. It's like a man saying how tall he is. Knock at least two inches off & that's his real height [emoji23]
