Good contract developers (freelancers) in London earn around £450/£500 a day which is clear of 100k euro by quite a margin. Job depends on the client. Job could last
3 months, could last 3 years.
Unusual for a salaried permanent developer to earn that amount in London unless they were head of or near the top of a good dev team in a good firm.
This is all excluding finance jobs. Finance jobs its pretty easy to get to that salary in London.
- Boothroid 9y agoDon't contracts get a bit iffy beyond 2 years? i.e. HMRC sniffing around querying your expenses and IR35? Or perhaps that's just contractor forum paranoia.
- neoham 9y agoThey do, yes. Many public sector companies (inc HMRC) are now forcing contractors to be paid by PAYE even. Generally though, you're safe as long as you work at the same company for less than 24 months. Then you need to find a new contract or relocate (working at a different physical office or taking on multiple clients can get around IR35 (if you fall within IR35 you're considered to be a disguised employee, not an independent contractor, and must pay higher income tax).
- Boothroid 9y agoIt's funny really, we are supposed to have a Conservative government but you wouldn't know it what with crackdown on buy to let and contracting. Not that I'm looking to start an argument.
