Hi guys,
I was made redundant last week and have been job hunting like an absolute demon. Initially I wasn't considering contract work, only permanent but with a few contractors suggesting I look closer into it I have come back with some serious thinking to do.
A couple of big companies have got back to me (Aston Martin the main one) keen on interviewing me for a contract role, similar to what I have done for the last year. However, having never contracted before I am looking for suggestions.
They are offering £25/h which is more then I am on currently, but with no idea of how that would work out at the end of the month (ie what I'd see) i am not able to fully work out the risks/benefits involved. I would be doing around 20miles to/from the workplace, and claim back lunch etc but am struggling to calculate the end of month pay check.
Can anyone talk me through their experience of contracting, how they went about doing and give me a rough ball park figure as to what I could expect at the end of the month (pension/student loan aside anyway).
Many thanks![]()

It might not be a long term commitment, but it sounds like it would be more than adequate as a filler until something more permantent comes up. Remember, it works both ways, you'd be able to leave at short notice as well!
