Newbie question: please be honest!
I know someone who does exactly that. She uses it to travel, volunteer and has had lots of quality time with an assortment of animals :) Realistically, that will be difficult for a newbie to do though. True. Always check that what they've claimed is correct and accurate, get as much detail...- utternutter

Is this permanent package irrestible?
Yes, it's all added to the total so there are tax implications which are unfavourable compared to operating through a ltd. company. Thanks, all! I guess it is looking less attractive from a financial perspective than it was initially. That helps put it in perspective.- utternutter

Is this permanent package irrestible?
Yes, it's in parts - 1/3 at 2, 3 and 4 or 5 (I can't remember if it's 4 or 5) years. So yes, you'll have to commit for quite a while unless you want to significantly reduce your package.- utternutter

Is this permanent package irrestible?
True. The stock only vests after 4 - 5 years, which makes it less appealing despite the dividends that will be accumulated. It's much like delayed gratification, which is a huge part of the package as a whole. Excluding those makes it a lot less appealing, with a basic that is lower than my rate.- utternutter

Is this permanent package irrestible?
Bit of both, I think. However, it is a different type of role, a few rungs up. Completely agree. Which is why I'm not too keen on it - I'm not as interested in what the role involves compared to the existing one though can't deny that it is a step up and that might not come by easily if I...- utternutter

That would be the minimum bonus. Also, the other stuff - stock, pension aren't immediately accessible so it might not be signifiantly better financially, compared to contract, initially.- utternutter
