You're comparing apples with wheel barrows.
You should work on the assumption that you're going to work a max of 200 days / year, 10 months at around 20 working days per month.
That gives a gross income, before tax, insurance, accountancy fees, training, sick, pension, mobile phone, laptop, training and all of the other good stuff a decent permie would get of £66k.
Factor in the fact the client can let you go with zero notice, you could be out of work for an indefinite time, you could be forced to take a contract 100s of miles from home....
Still think £330/day is a lot? I'm not for one minute suggesting that it's a rubbish rate, but it's not the gross income you think it is.
anyone got a gig resetting passwords for £599 a day ?Comment
