Sign the contract before jumping ship.

Never stop learning technologies.

Avoid technologies that are seen as "easy" or are associated with a low rate.

Ignore anything recruiters tell you. If you think you are objectively decent at C# aim for 400/day in Greater London. 350 in the provinces. Do not believe what recruiters tell you about rates. 400/day is literally peanuts for any company you want to contract for.

First contract makes no difference. You either can or cannot develop C# and work in a team. Permie experience can be no different to contract experience.

On the other hand if you are very junior and have a weak CV then you will have a very weak bargaining position. Adjust accordingly.

If you can honestly develop C# applications, then there is room in the UK contracting market for you.
