Why become a contractor?
There are a number of financial and personal advantages to becoming a contractor in the IT sector.
As a contractor, you have the freedom to choose your working environment and a flexible work pattern to suit your needs. Employers value the opportunity to bring in temporary resources when particular projects require them.
Being able to choose where and with whom you work enables you to avoid the usual office politics and be judged solely on your abilities.
And, by working on a short-term basis, you can charge a higher rate for your services, with much better take home pay after tax. When negotiating your contract rate, you should play on your technical and business experience, as well as your skills.
You should also take into account the current economic climate, the state of the market and the need for your particular skill set, as well as the location – the highest rates tend to be in London and the South East.
Being a contractor also enables you to benefit from other opportunities, such as the chance to work abroad or develop a wide set of skills whilst receiving an income.
