If you have more than that then you should be killing it coming up with a SaaS business or some other idea.Comment

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

Same where I am now but it is public sector. Local, rate is decent enough, skillset is ok - its just not that busy. Quietest place I've ever worked- nothing ever goes wrong. But client seems happy to pay just in case.
But, its local, probably long term and decent enough so I'll stay. If it was away from home, or crap in any other way I'd have bailed ages ago.
Beware though - I stayed at a local gig a few years because it was local. Awful place, awful permie managers, permies, complete nightmare. Took and extension then a week or so later wished I hadn't. Had a bit of effect on my mental state in the end. Bad idea.....Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
