500-600 is a typical London rate. Outside London 300-400 is more likely.
- jamiethompson 10y agoThat's still at least 2x the take-home on even the highest paying permanent roles outside of London.
- osullivj 10y agoBear in mind that permie roles usually include pension, private healthcare, sick pay & holiday allowance. So the total comp from the permie role goes beyond the take home.
- user5994461 10y ago500 * 200 days = 100k of income. 100k is definitely not twice what you get as a permie in London.
- jamiethompson 10y agoNo, I said it's twice what you'd get outside of London.
- user5994461 10y agoWell, the 500 is consulting rate for inside London. The comparison doesn't stand then.
- jamiethompson 10y agoNo, it's £300-400 per day outside London. Which at the top end is literally twice a permanent salary of £45k
- mattmanser 10y ago45 weeks * 5 days * £300 = £67,500 Outside London as a senior dev you might expect £45k full-time + pension + benefits. So definitely not at least 2x. 45 weeks is kinda the rule of thumb of contractors, as you don't get paid hols or sick days.
- jamiethompson 10y agoThat's true. But 45 weeks * 5 days * £400 = £90,000
- test1235 10y agoAs an average web dev, I've seen £350~£400 in London
- osullivj 10y agoI've long worked in banking, so the 500-600 I look for with London roles assumes trading systems knowledge. So I agree, outside banking rates will be lower. FYR I'm currently working a six month C++ Windows MFC gig in Gloucestershire at 365/day. I'll be heading back into London at the end of May though...
- wdb 10y agoGot offered a Delphi contractor role last week for £800/day but required travelling and fixed deadline.
