    How much would you go permie for?

    Some big companies London are approaching me and asking for figures to go premie.

      As much as I can get.

      Start off at something eye-watering, pass through ludicrous and settle on something barely justifiable.
      The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

            Bit of a daft question.

              you'd sell yourself that cheap
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  It depends. Too many variables to answer a one line question with a number.


                  Things to consider:
                  Location
                  Lifestyle
                  Benefits
                  Security
                  Running costs


                  e.g. if I was offered a permie role working from home for 99% of what I'm currently on, but with a pension, healthcare, phone, 60 days holiday a year, etc, I'd probably think about it.
                  …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                    I was on £65k (plus O/T) in Leeds in 2010 for one year before I couldn't stand it anymore and went back contracting.

                    Even then I felt skint, seeing half of every hours overtime going to the tax man turned my stomach.
