Is it normal to receive a pay cut when going from a temp to perm role? I was just offered a permanent role at my agency and saw that my salary will be lower than it was with my recruiting firm.

Yes. Full time pay will always be less than freelance for the same roll.

Again, you need factor in the medical benefits.

Was it calculated hourly to salary or a base rate?

So the pay decrease is due to being salaried and from benefits ? Was just curious if this was normal as its my first time dealing with a contracting position

Huh? It is what the market will pay.

Hourly to salary

It is normal, you also have to figure if they are paying a conversion fee, that is part of your 1 years cost.

Also, subtract the feee from recruiters which is often 10-20% of annual salary

What company are you at?

Benefits can come out to a thousand bucks or more every month. Factor in healthcare (medical, dental, vision), paid time off, any company matching in place (retirement funds, tuition, what have you) - it's a LOT. Less cash but less risk and bills you have to shoulder by yourself, is the theory.

I still don't understand how people don't understand this simple and obvious thing... All of the above!

Yes! Negotiate!

I negotiated up in my last conversion. 🤑
