Not being smart but if they're offering money like that (I reckon the contract one is worth an absolute minimum of €100k for a year) then you must be pretty hot at maths and finances so you should be well able to compare them and decide.

Seems like a nice problem to have. Good luck.

I think it depends where you are in life.

Obviously the permanent job is more stable so if you have /want a mortgage, have a family depending on you there are definitely advantages.

If you want to earn as much as you can and go off travelling etc I'd be going for the contract role.

Also you will potentially gain alot more experience through contract work especially if you keep moving, when you have a permanent job you can get too comfy.

I would be mindful with contract work to have enough money saved to buffer any periods inbetween jobs.
