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

    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.

    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 !

    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?
