If I do contract, would it be best for me to join an umbrella company, and if so, do you know if I can do so before I enter the country? Also, as a software developer, will I find that most contracts fall within IR35?
Thanks!

Are you aware of what's going on here in the contracting market? Lucky you've got 5 years! How many months can you survive with no money coming in? How much money are you bringing with you?
