so if the commute was the same time, and the work was good, would you trade £500pd for 100k?

Originally posted by DimPrawn View Post

I would, mostly because I'd aim to stay somewhere good for 5 or more years. Contracting ain't what it used to be.

Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View Post

I think I'd seriously consider 100k instead of £500/day....Especially now that the divi tax has bridged the gap. However, there would have to be a lot of benefits on offer and if you add in 25 days holiday, WFH and the ability to learn new (more expensive) skills ready to go contracting in a year or two, then it is even more worthwhile.

I'd consider it too for the reasons mentioned above, particularly what NWP2C says.
