Contract vs Permanent Biotech Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Each path promises unique advantages and disadvantages, from pay rates and benefits packages to career development and job security. This article offers a comprehensive guide on contract vs. permanent biotech jobs in 2025. We will explore how the UK biotech sector is shaping up, break down the different types of employment arrangements, and present sample take‑home pay scenarios for each.
