It looks like Permanent will be better in your case for two reasons.
1. 200/day is not a good contract rate and 31K permanent is good
2. You were out of work for 4 months which means it is tough to get a job
I would suggest go with Permanent and work for a year or so.
Ah no, permanent work, you can be dismissed the same day so there is no security in a "permanent" job.taiwookunade wrote:I totally disagree with republique. Pay is not the only thing you consider when making this kind of decision. The fact that your job is secure should be enough to convince you that taking a permanent job is a better option compared to contract. The terms of a contract job usually make it possible for employers to terminate appointment just by giving very short notice, which is not possible in a confirmed permanent appointment.
You may also want to consider other benefits such as holiday, sick leave and pay, study support which are associated with permanent jobs. Even the gap between leaving one contract job and securing another may not be too attractive of CVs.
As a contractor myself I agree. Plus the transient nature of contracting means you can quit in an instant when that dream permie job comes along, whilst others have to serve their one of three months notice.republique wrote:Ah no, permanent work, you can be dismissed the same day so there is no security in a "permanent" job.taiwookunade wrote:I totally disagree with republique.

As for other benefits, as a contractor you can minimize the deductions and have more left over than you would as a permanent employee and more than make up for sick leave and holiday.
Gaps between contracts are understood with contractors.
