Hi all,
First time contracting, new this site so I'm sure this subject has been beaten to death, but I'd like some of your thoughts. I’m not sure If I’ve made the right call and slightly regretting it!
so currently on £420 day (9 to 6pm) working for an asset manager working on BAU production of Fund Reports/Fund Factsheets and migrating the production to a new provider (which is doing all the heavy lifting btw). Been doing this role for about 6 months and in all honesty, I'd probably get another year or more out of it, However not really enjoying the culture, people and I'm sitting here not doing much most days. I'm pulling in a great pay packet, which I never dreamt of earning.
So then I've just gone and jacked it in for a perm role for another Asset manager, much the same stuff, but with people I’ve worked with before and enjoy, but now slightly regretting it as I feel like I’m throwing away an opportunity to make some real money for a year or so. Spec of perm role below.
• 60k basic
• 10.5% pension
• 18/20% Bonus
• 25 days holidays
• £300 a month share scheme if I pay in £150
• Usual Medical and Dental
• Free canteen, apparently v good food. (Breakfast and Lunch provided)
• work from home one day a week when it’s not Quarter end
• 9 to 5pm
Am I mad? Finically would I have been that much better off in the contract?
