If the role is outside ir35, then it's still better to take the contract over the permanent job.
In general, for roles inside ir35 (so pretty much all the roles in banking), I see less and less advantages in being a contractor. We're fast approaching 50% take home pay.Comment

Before IR35 changes were pulled, I was in talks with a client to do exactly that. My leverage was "what you're doing is a choice, therefore you must pay for that choice, and you have the option of doing what we were doing before for free". Used an in/out IR35 calculator to work out what the new rate would be - something in the order of an extra £200 a day. They said yes.⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

The "inside" is not only about rate but also about how you engage with the client. It is basically perm, but without any benefits.
Sure you can negotiate more autonomy, not having to participate in performance reviews, employee parties, but why would your deemed employer agree to that.
It's over and the alternative has been closed off. The liability is too big for companies to consider "outside" contract past April.Last edited by elsergiovolador; 13 May 2020, 13:52.Comment

They were contractors before and they'll be contractors after, you're not suddenly going to be treated like you have a career with the client.⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

Not because the day rates will rise, but because the permie salaries will drop when companies will start to hire again and all these folk who are now unemployed will be accepting whatever they're given.Comment

Originally posted by elsergiovolador View PostWhy companies would hire permies if they can just issue inside contracts? It is more likely that rates will drop significantly and we will see 200 per day inside contracts as a new norm and only few perm job offers for core staff.
Because sometimes businesses want someone for more than a couple of years.
Because businesses have plans that are different to individuals who think they are companies
Because businesses are looking to the future and need experience and quality, not just cheap.
Because the cost of onboarding a contractor is considerably higher than onboarding a permie.
Lots of reasons, just because they might not be obvious to you doesn't make them invalid.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

What are the advantages of employment contract over inside IR35 for an employer to even consider it?
The new norm will be perm roles for core staff and rest will work on rolling inside IR35.Comment
