I just got offered to work 4 days work weeks, I think potentially they would be ok with 3 days too. They are generally really flexible so I had time to prove myself in first term of the contract that I can deliver. I think my departments budget is running low so I think that helps - Contractors - work less, cost less. There are multiple things at play but most significant is demonstrating the value imo.
I've been contracting for 2 years now and lately I strongly prioritised the company culture and personal interest in the company over money. Turns out this way I found a really good cultural fit and people I can work with. They invited me to join as permie and I am strongly considering it as it seems it would allow me to do the most in my life while living comfortably.
Flexibility seems to cost you ~20% of your normal rate - at least I'm confident my daily rate could be 20% higher if I wanted elsewhere.
