Odd question from Clientco

[Liability]

I'd be swayed for: -

(1) Whatever permie wage let me come out with £3k per month AFTER tax (what would that be?)
(2) 2 days working from home per week. (Working from home is VERY important to me).
(3) Assuming I got (2), then 5 weeks holidays would do really.
(4) Pension & Bupa.

I see where you are coming from on this.

Agree with number 2 as well - to me its massive - as it allows me to spend time with the kids -get little more sleep and above all acually work more efficient and focused.

I negotiated with them before I signed that Id need to work from home 1 or 2 days as its a 180 mile round trip - and I cant do that every day. They didnt have an issue with that.

Agree - but than everyone has a price to move to Perm - even a contractor if the role would suit and above all you get a decent rate after tax in the account.

Tempted to throw in a figure for indication.

For me the answer would be "a technical lead position".

I was asked the question when I started here, I asked what the salary would be? The boss just said “about half what you get now… but there are other benefits” needless to say he didn’t really sell it to me enough.

Having done that in the past i can say that sometimes its better to be down in the trenches with the cannon fodder.

It is what I am doing for them now.

Totally agree, I just don’t want the responsibility.

I’d much rather keep beavering away on a contract rate for more money than a lead tech perm role with all the baggage that comes with it.

My life ambitions have very little to do with work.
