    As you very well know, it’s more complex than a straight conversion.
    You’re right if inside though. Take home would be less than £60k.

    For me it’s general principle of doing business. And if the OP accepts perm then the IR35 risk includes the contracting.

    And the client then knows that they can negotiate down. So there’s no payrises on the horizon. In 6 months time I reckon leaving becomes an option again so not really a lot of point.

    Just my view though.

    They pay you now. They’re happy with your work, so much so they offer you a perm role.
    They want the same from you, for less money.
    I’d stick to my guns and tell them contracting or leave.- and bluntly, they’re not going to be paying much less if you go perm anyway.

    Does sound like a reasonable offer. If there is any chance of progression/ skills training I would suggest going for it.

    Maybe should have taken more note of post number 3 so we don't have to go through all this again. A bunch of random peoples opinions on a situation they know nothing about on behalf of the someone else. Hope that isn't what you are going to use as a basis for a decision about your future.

    Peoples experience with similar choices they have themselves made may aid you in making your decision. Good luck.
    Surely the ones that went perm won't be on the forums any more so he's going to get a very one sided view?

    Either way maybe a search will help.. Play around with the keywords but stuff like this should help.

    Contract vs perm offer?

    Hi all,

    Currently on £420 day (9 to 6pm) in a BAU Role, which I've been doing for 6 months and I may get another year out of it, but there's already talk of me being too expensive.

    Not many contracts in the type of work I do, so no chance of getting another gig like this.

    I've just been offered perm role in similar role, with long term prospects, and with people I’ve worked with before. spec as follows

    • 60k basic
    • 10.5% pension
    • 18/20% Bonus
    • 25 days holidays
    • £300 a month share scheme if I pay in £150
    • Usual Medical and Dental
    • Free canteen, apparently v good food. (Breakfast and Lunch provided)
    • work from home one day a week when it’s not Quarter end
    • 9 to 5pm

    Worth jumping ship with IR35 for private sector on the way?

Working...
