      oh no, I was somewhere else for 8 months and then been here since Nov last year.

      I got money saved up, I also run consulting out-sourcing jobs for ex-clients which is keeping me busy besides this... This suits me for the moment, doubt I'll stay the whole term.

      All I need is to get them to stfu, though you guys might be more experienced and tell me that I should just suck it up and deal with it for the moment.

      Ps. I run a LTD, no umbrella stuff.

      Also I'm confused 500 == 75k :-/

      How is that possible?

          sorry, totally missed that. Also I usually do work on a project based work which I sub-contract/day-rate/work from my office also, doubt I fall into the IR35 category.

          I've never worked anywhere for more than 2 years and all my contracts have the can supply a different resource if required because I actually need to sometimes.

            There’s lots of threads comparing day rate to salary (use the search).

            £116,428 is way off the mark. As this doesn’t account for lack of benefits, sickness, time on the bench etc.

                I’ve got to say WTFH is a LOT closer to reality than that calculator.

                  erm, I started in 2016 Jan. I got made redundant 3 times in 5 perm jobs.


                  so I guess 1 year 3 months... started here november last year. My current rate is 500 GBP per day, not sure what the salary equivalent is.

                  Thanks AJ
                  Well done that man.

                    Your client obviously values you to offer perm so a nice compliment.

                    I never usually say no outright but usually respond with 'l'll consider it'. Nothing wrong with giving them hope especially close to renewal/uplift time.

                      Do you recheck your situation to see if you've got IR35 issues now it's become apparent your filling a full time role?
