I have a stable permanent job that pays well and comes with health/dental/DCPP/life ins. I have an opportunity to jump to a 5-year contract position that would accelerate my career quite a bit, but my impression is that there are no benefits. Not sure what I should ask in terms of compensation for the loss of the benefits of my current job. The pension is worth about $10k per year I guess, and I can get the value of the taxable benefits from my T4. Would the DCPP employer contributions be reflected on my T4?
Has anyone gone from a perm position to a contract, and how much did you expect to get compensated? I am currently treating a 5 year contract as being equivalent to a permanent position, actually better since my current employer can let me go at any time with about 20-25 weeks' salary.
