.NET contracts in Cardiff

[LivingUpNorth]

Yes, this assumption is wrong. It depends on the contract and working practices, i.e. it's impossible to generalize, although you are perhaps more likely to get investigated w/ public sector clients. Take each contract offer as it comes, and go through the normal review process.

Righto. Cheers for the info. Thanks.

All great reasons and obv I'm biased but it's a great place.

Best of luck with whatever you decide.

Cheers buddy. Ta.

Out of interest... How long have your previous contract commutes been?

Valleys about an hour e/w
Brum stay over 1or2 nights
Manc, Crewe, Milton Keynes, Liverpool - stay up Mon-Thurs Or just go up for 1 or 2days in the week
All the rest is international - typically mainland Europe, out Mon eve Back Thurs eve with plenty of WFH.
Longhaul depends on distance.

But as I said, I do supply chain so have to go where they make/move stuff.

Hi,

Ok you think that commute isn't that bad? I don't know anyone who's done it. Just read a lots of negative things online from people who have tried it.

Got 12 years experience. The last 5 1/2 as a contractor. Worked it in quite a few industry sectors too.


Cheers.

I havent commuted it but travelled it infrequently. I would commute if the offer was right. I remember it being about 45 mins but im going back a bit to when I travelled it last.

The traffic in Bristol is generally terrible. Driving M32 > Town centre is horrible however if you can get flexible hours and start / finish early or find a better route then you could be ok traffic wise.

Have to ask, why Cardiff?

Don't get me wrong I love the place but I also recognise that I'm going to have to travel for work, especially contract.

I'm currently doing a contract in Cardiff (SAP, but not supply chain), I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it generally is.

Glad you like it. It's really come on over the last number of years.

Are they all that bad?
Or does anybody know any good ones close by that work on Cardiff contracts. Bristol based Agencies maybe....

Just go on jobserve look for .NET jobs in Cardiff and the area and contact the agencies advertising.

Agencies advertise on multiple jobsites and they're invariably also on jobserve.
