I just spotted your avatar, which confirms you are a bullsh1tter. Peugeot 406 coupeOriginally posted by VJTheDJI think I should stay perm until I have enough management exp. to get one of those elusive £700/day roles.
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I think you should sit tight - of course your years of service etc should be taken into account. When you're permy you can fairly reasonably expect increases in your salary, driven by skill and talent or at least inflation. With contracting, rates are in the hands of the gods.Originally posted by VJTheDJI used to be a contractor pre-IR35 and then worked abroad (no I wasn't in prison
). Now I am in London and earning a pretty good basic salary.
(Under the current Tax laws I think that my net income would only go up by 12k if I take a 500/day contract.)
So the question is, What salary do all of you guys feel would make it worth staying permie for?

It just makes me laugh when people feel the need to brag about what they have, or the (high) minimum they'd work for , but at the same time are proud of owning such a poo car.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
