Reply to: 400 a day contract or 70k permie

Don't forget the added permie 'perks'

* PDP and reviews
* Office politics
* 'Training' (diversity, etc.)

You forgot Shares, pension contributions, BUPA, Dental insurance, paid holidays, sick pay, car, fuel, life insurance, bonus (I got 11k extra in December).

Churchill - In "Horses for courses" mode!

You are having a laugh?

Using the type of set-up common in some eurolander countries, 400 per day would work out at more than 70k net per year (210 days.)

It even keeps you on the avoidance side of the line - pretty much.

What would you go for...?

I've been techie contracting on 400-500 a day for years and the best salary I've ever seen for an end user permie role in my game is 50K, and I reckon 40K tops at the moment. If somebody offered me 70K for a cushy end user job on 37.5 hours a week I'd snatch their hand off, then probably get fed up within a year and pack it in !

But how long can you manage on £9000.00 ?

[SandyDown]

How can 5 people all be AtW? Surely one is enough for one board?

I expect AtW to have about 20 alias IDs on thos BB

You missed the cushy permie 6 fig salary with all benefits option.

What if the permie position was a fixed period salaried contract?

Would you take it then?

Well, it's not really the same...... there still are more benefits in permanent employment here, or aren't there?

I dream of having 22K to live on. I do not have the skill to warrant such splendid rewards. All I can do is look on in admiration as highly trained and experienced overseas brothers and sisters show me up as a washed-out old fool. I can hardly afford to pay myself minimum wage, but I am still proud to do my duty to society and pay every penny of tax that I can.

If Hector is reading.. the pips have been squeezed from me

The taxman always takes the pips

That's not bad really is it? Imagine living on 22K gross a year as most people in this country do.

£400 a day obviously, you get about 4-5k more per year
