Almost every other post you do is scathingly critical of others and you do seem to have but little to do with your time than post on here!
Many of us did a big jump when we were in the early stages of our careers.
Good luck to the OP - why try to take everyone down with your smirking and superior opinions - a little politeness and latitude will make the world a better place :-)Comment

I’m a she ?
I’ve had a lot of management experience in my career. I took a demotion on paper when I took the JR PM role but doubled my income. I do agree the jump sounds a bit ludicrous on paper but it doesn’t tell the whole story.
Thanks for the well wishes and have a lovely quiet New Year wherever you are xComment

Have a
£60k perm in this environment is not to be sniffed at. In a few years time you may choose to go back contracting on a higher day rate, or not, but it's easier to make those decisions from a position of powerI am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

I agree with others that £300 p/d to £60K + benefits is probably a good move at this time.Comment

I'm about to take the plunge and make a similar move to the OP.
After 2 years of contracting, that's me done and ready to head back to permie land.
2020 has been incredibly stressful, with a contract I didn't enjoy in the slightest, at a majorly disappointing client, seeing most of the contractors in my team, one by one either not getting renewed or being treated poorly and basically forced to quit, just to be replaced by incompetent junior permies.
I started a new contract this week, £300 a day inside ir35. I was making exactly double that amount 12 months ago, but that's what the very few available contract roles for my skillset pay nowadays.
Got offered a permie role for 50k a year, 10% bonus, 10% pension contributions, all the other usual benefits, totally remote now and then 4 days a week remote with the office 30 minutes away by car when things go back to "normal". The money is more than enough, the work is interesting enough, and the job is cushy enough for me to be able to focus more on the things that really matters (my family and my hobbies).
Maybe in 5-10 years I'll switch again.
