I was at big 4 before having a gap year and starting career as contractor 7 months ago. I am contracting now as Senior BA / Test Manager but would like to understand what is the best to do for the future and where contracting will take me.

I started in March 2017, progressively higher day rates is my assumption.

If I understand correctly, you are looking for a careers coach?

Are you looking to change career path altogether? Go perm? Enhance your career in IT? We need a little more to go on than that.

I don't want to be rude but if your career change is in to anything that needs you to create documentation and reports you might want to brush up on your, er, communication skills.

To be an expert in something to the point someone will pay £400+ a day for you you need to be good and have a raft of experience to back it up. You cannot just change careers contracting by doing some courses over Skype. You might have the theory but have no expertise or demonstrable experience. Would you hire a builder to do an extension for you just because he's read a book and got a City & Guilds qualification.

Career changing as a contractor is very difficult to do.

I have to agree with this.

I always viewed (all types of) communication skills as a very important part of being a BA or test manager.
