The permy also gets holiday pay, sick pay and the *potential* of career
progression. Don't forget that. It's important as the metric in terms of
earnings between permy and contractor contract.
Personally Im paid by the hour yes, but I do not stop the clock nor do I
bill for overruns..unless they are exceptionally long.
Contract or permy..the infrastructure needs defending. Having come through
support earning stripes through the years before joining the designer
'officer ranks' I understand that.
As for police, and fire..well I don't think that's a fair comparison at all.
Confront the situations those guys have to deal with Joe, I think you would
shit your pants buddy and forget your hourly rate.
