Hi Guys,
Appreciate some insight here....so iv been on the bench now for 2 months and been a little frustrated with job applications and not getting any interviews....but have built up enough savings for at least 6-8 months.
Been a IT BA contractor for 2.5 yrs with experience on the OTC Reg side of things and on around (£570pd...prior to this was a perm BA on OTC space for 6.5 yrs) now I commute into London (2 hrs each way) and am considering getting an BA Role somewhere closer to my home address for a short period just so I can get some income coming into my limited company.
Downside would be that the day rates will be a lot lower (£300pd) and the actual work is more pure BA work on IT systems rather for smaller IT companies rather than a large tier 1 IB company which I have been in all my working career and also commute will be very short and get to spend more time at home as well as the 2 year expense rule being restarted.
I was just wondering that if by getting this role will look unfavourable against me when I eventually get back into London for Reg related roles where
my main expertise is? I.e they might say that iv been away from the Reg space too long and it won't be my most recent role and choose other contractors over me etc...
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if so what did decision did you take?
Again appreciate the advice.
