Oh dammit it's the Salesforce hammer of remorse for me again.

You might have seen my many words of regret on this already

It's too late for me. Save yourselves!

Sorry to hear that ChimpMaster. Sf was forced on me back in my permy days - it’s nothing great imo.

Saw an opportunity in contracting and hadn’t looked back till all this IR35 nonsense. I’ll watch from the sidelines for now.

Hot off the press. Sajid Javid just resigned. Not that I expect anything to come out of it.

NLUK?

Don't worry. I'm all over this. Operation Save the Noobs already in full swing. Got to concentrate on the retrospective taxation now they are perm doing the same work. Already managed to find their LTD's from the personal information CUK supply me. I'll be casting an eye over their accounts and contracts in due course.

Zero issues of not hitting my targets in the coming months.

Are you suggesting that somewhere on this forum there are HMRC plants making it sound like it's all going to be fine and sunny after April?

NLUK?

[Snooky]

All these crazy kids with their 4 posts coming along telling us of their £100k+ salaries now that HMRC has helped save their careers by helping them out of contracting.

And me this old relic with 20+ years experience in IT can't scrape a shiny new permie job paying even half that.

im not that far behind you 15+. Certainly in London, Salesforce roles tend to pay well. Come across a fair few in the mid 80's to low 90s.

yeh. - there're some good stories, right enough

Bit more context for all. Leaving big 4 end of month (they did give me the option of extending and going inside, same day rate. I wasn’t comfortable going inside at the same end client).

Im starting at a new company, never worked there, different sector altogether, in March. I Should speak to my accountant, still got a fair amount of divi to take, but also will get paid in March via PAYE at the new place).

Rate has been £600 p/d on average the past 5 years. I was using an IR35 calculator, it suggested £108k was the equivalent for going inside.

New role is paying a little bit north with car allowance. Bonus etc still to come on top.

Hope that clears up any misunderstandings. I’ll see how it goes, give it 3-6 months - I enjoyed moving around tbh. Might get bored after a year.

What makes some people react on serious threads in the manner of a 1970s police interview ?

Perhaps the fact that it was not only in the original post but that the point had been made (once with bold) twice in comments that preceded yours, and you still missed it?

Is emboldened text the signifier of a small mind ?

That's possible. Or alternatively, maybe the writer despaired of the fact that using bold once hadn't got the message through.

If it's a serious thread, perhaps people should take it seriously, by reading the original post carefully, and by noting other comments which have been made and not making the same stupid mistake as others.

Which part of the word elsewhere did you not quite comprehend?

The elsewhere bit

What makes you think that's even an option elsewhere? He's been offered a perm job elsewhere. The brolly job offer was in his old role and possibly left him vulnerable to historical IR35 problems. There's nothing in what he said to indicate he had an option between brolly and perm elsewhere.

Reading comprehension has not been strong in this thread.

[DevUK]

Why would you think taking perm in the same place was a good idea? HMRC will have you for that.

...


I'm joking, I did read the OP properly. Good luck, and congrats on landing the job. I made the same move recently. Obviously we will never be delighted with the fact we're both probably nudged towards it given the state of the market but I have to say I'm enjoying the safe place from which I can monitor the situation.

And these are contractors who know what's going on.

IT contractors. It's easy to miss out a word.

The stupid compiler knew I meant to put that word in there, why doesn't it just fill it in for me?

Now imagine the 95% who don't know exactly what's going on and have the comprehension skills of the people we are mocking on this thread and / or have an accountant as good as the one who took the Accountancy Age article as accurate and didn't do any research.
