How much would you earn as a permie?

[Old Greg]

I'd expect 50k in the public sector - with a juicy pension on top. Perhaps an extra 5 - 10k in the private sector.

[Churchill]

My income is solely dependant on my performance.

If I successfully build up the company I shall be amply rewarded. If not then it will have been fun trying!

Actually, if what I had to spend every month was identical both permie and contract, I think I'd still choose to contract. The freedom I have from management bullsh!t is priceless. I was a permie wage slave for 30 years before I realised that.

I am currently doing the same after 10+ years of Contracting

I am looking at £100-£120k packages as for me to get where Id like to I now need a Perm role.

Not an easy choice when you compare financials but its one that can pay off.

Just means I gota hack it for 3+ years.

[YHB]

my hourly rates work out at just over £200 per day and I'm projecting gross company profit of £55-60K.

Why oh why doesn't everyone say no to £200 a day. When you consider the risks involved if you are taken long term sick etc thats peanuts.

Basic Access database work can get you £300 a day min up north....

If I went on what clueless agencies phone up and try to offer, I expect I must be worth £28k to do .Net in the City on a permanent basis (usually for 'this exciting cutting edge technology company'). I often point out to them that Oxford Street burger flippers get more than that, but then I have recently started putting NOT CONSIDERING PERM ROLES in big red letters at the top of my CV, so I don't get them so much.

28k as a burger flipper? The world is less kind than that.

£75k plus bonus, current gig asked me what I would be after I told them £80k plus bonus and they were fine with that, but thats central London so sounds alot but all relative, cost of living etc and low level management role.
