Thank you. The thing is, my salary is still like 2x what I could get in the country with the highest salaries (UK) in a slimiar timezone to mine. So I’d still be looking at getting my income halved.
- badpun 4y agoIn Europe, it's not hard to get 600 EUR per day if your skills are in demand. Since you're currently a contractor, are you getting 1200 EUR per day? If that's the case, I'd probably stay and bank that money for a couple more years, and possibly into early retirement.
- Xenoamorphous 4y agoNot making 1200 as it’s a permanent position, I was a contractor with them for a while (although other than in paper, nothing changed) but it can’t be done long term due to legal issues. And yes I thought about early retirement, it def. sounds good.
- mejutoco 4y agoAre you on payroll or are you invoicing them? I say this because I could imagine maybe the legal issues are the government determining it is not a real contractor but a "fake employee". IMHO, if you are invoicing, OP reasoning regarding pricing stands, regardless of the dynamic day-to-day, since you are paying social security, pension etc. out of your own pocket. If not, please disregard.
