Yes. But realistically the highest paying contracts I could ever even seen (and then again in the city/investment banking/etc do not pay over 500). I don't think at the end of financial year considering the risk and everything are worth more than a 100k package permie (said so, it is certainly not easy to get these position, there is an incredible competition).

Well, there seems to be a few permie jobs where you can go around 100k all included. Either that or a contract.

Franco, how long have you been searching for a contract, are you seriously going to quite your permie role or just testing the water?
