              just view it as a different sort of contract - just gone permy myself - sometimes feels quite wrong - but total comp is about 10% less than contracting at a pretty good rate - also looking at current contract rates in my area (unix/city) - they appear to be a lot lower than a year ago by a couple of hundred pounds per day . .. I do prefer the psychology of contracting, however the market at the moment is very bad ..

              having said that if you where offered a long gig (6-12months) at a good rate somewhere I'd take that over permydoom!
