I left my last perm role at end of 2009 and was on 89k basic with 15% bonus and shares.
I would now only go back into perm for a very senior management or directors role.
I have a prelimnary offer for a role starting at the begin of 2012 in the USA. I plan to contract all this year and if all works out i plan to head off stateside
next year.
Time will tell.

You should do all you can to butter up your client, because it raises the possibility of higher rates and better contracts.
On a related note, has anyone ever been offered a permie job that really did pay more than the contract equivalent? And did they turn it down because they preferred the freedom of contracting?

So I told him and he said "That's more than I'm getting, so good luck!"
