5 million euros, a different attractive secretary for every day of the week, a chauffeur driven Rolls, a Learjet, an office with a swimming pool and a guaranteed leaving premium of 10 million euros if I f**k up.

Hell, this is modest compared to some CEO’s.

I've said it before. I've got other skills that I can sell while working for myself, admittedly not for the same money. So I'd sooner do something else than go permie.

Ahh I see that old chestnut - you get more if its hairy you know that? So I am told.

I've always said that if I was offered a permy job that I wanted to do and paid well enough that I'd take it.

I've contracted for 18 years and while I like it most of the time, there are aspects that annoy me.
