100% agree with this. It's ridiculous how contrasting the levels of compensation are. Of course there are minefields to negotiate (IR35, administrative overheads of running a company etc) but it's a completely different world to working as a permie. > They'll fill that role, eventually, and they'll get someone with low productivity that produces unreliable software, and they'll feel justified in their vicious low-pay, low-expectations cycle. In my experience they then come crying to contractors to try and fix the mess made by the low-paid staff. The whole debacle costs more than it would have cost doing it right to start off with.
