Hi all,
Just a non-interesting general opening post here for me!
I'm looking to get my first contract (Project management space/Banking) over the coming month. Background is 5 years Consulting with Big 4 then 2+ years in-house project management with a large bank in the city (Not IB though) so quite varied experience but very comfortable in the corporate world of actions, risks and issues.
Slight complication is that I've finished my previous perm role as wanted to travel for a few months and also work on a little side project so there is a gap on my cv since March.
What's the market like at the moment and any general thoughts on my suitability for getting a contract? Haven't attacked it vigorously yet but suspect spamming out CV's to every agent isn't the way to go just yet.
Anyhow thanks for reading and let me know if my profile is suitable for contracting or should I or whistle my way back to performance reviews and career progression.
Also Day rate, as I haven't had one before not sure what to tell agency, aim high or just say ballpark 400 etc (or 5 or 6!)
Cheers,
J
