Short term low rate now versus high paid better long term later

[ShandyDrinker]

Wow.. You are hard work.

So how do you differentiate from a 20 years multi skilled specialist and someone with 6 years contracting and a smattering of everything? It's just a matter of a name. You know what we are talking about.

The fact you don't seem to be getting speaks volumes.

If someone has only a few years contracting and swaps disciplines regularly such as Dev->BA->PM->Dev then yes, I know exactly what you're talking about.

In total I have the best part of 18 years working with various incarnations of the Microsoft development/database/BI stack. I know many contract developers who work interchangeably as either BI specialists or C#/Web specialists. I don't believe in the .Net development world this is unusual.
