Permiedom shame

[suityou01]

Sorry everyone, I've said yes.

It's an interesting job, easy commute, and should be a load of useful experience should I decide I can't take it any more come apprasil time. And the salary is 1000x my best hourly rate ever (from a couple of years ago), and I can increase that by 10% if I want by taking the pension contribution as cash.

I've been working it out, and based on my current rate I'm about 25% down in take home pay (far less if IR35 caught), and that's IF I manage to be in a contract for 10 months of the year, something I haven't managed in the last 2 years.

Still have 4 weeks to go on a contract. It's all worked out nicely: said yes to 5 week contract on Friday hoping the permie offer would come through and I'd do both.

Once again, I'm sorry, and I'll be sure to come back here and complain about it all.

All the best VM.

Well done

It's all about the money and the experience. If a perm job is offering you these then no shame in being perm. Well, a little bit of shame maybe but I am sure you will learn to live with it.

Congrats VM. Hope it works out for you.

Just wait till you've have a permie-day like I've had today - only 3/4hr not in pointless meetings about meaningless shiite, and I'm a techie - I want to log on!

I've I was a PM I could understand it....

I might go permie. I just need them to offer the right amount of money.

I went Permie a month ago. Left a rate of £700 a day. However the oppurtunity here is a once in a lifetime (and I have shares).

Each opportunity is different, but fortune favours the brave.

That's pretty much my story since start of Feb.
