There are plenty of places with ‘very long term permanent consultants’, which you buy because they’re easy to fire in less flexible job markets. Comparing their salaries ( what they actually make in the end ) with perm salaries, and factoring in the various risk premiums/ contract differences makes sense I think. |

I guess it makes sense to compare them if you are considering moving from one to the other. The consultant gets paid more, but has a different tax, expense, benefit and risk profile. The rate itself is only one part of that overall calculation.
Which brings me back to the start of this thread, where I pointed out that consultants get paid a higher rate but the costs and risks are also not the same.
