Hi fellow contractors,
I haven't been here for a good long while because I've been busy doing banking in Sydney. I'm now coming up to my first year as a perm in a fintech startup called 86 400 ("eighty six four hundred"). Our chairman is none other than Anthony Thompson, founder of Metro and Atom in the UK.
www.86400.com.au (top points to whoever can work out the meaning of our name before looking at the website).
I'm back on here because despite being perm I'm picking up all the latest tech as a (SAFe agile) Scrum Master (Rest API's, NodeJs, AWS, Streambase, Kafka, GraphDB, Cassandra, Open Banking, Swagger, CI/CD, Postman, etc etc) as well as all the agile stuff (JIRA, Confluence, Scenarios etc etc).
And the age-old quest to return to contracting in London has come to mind again ( I contracted in the City from 1995-2001 and have a UK passport). So I've been reading threads about state of the market and the state of London and I was just wondering if anyone wants to throw in some advice - should I stay or should I go now? I have a possible opportunity of some cheap/free accommodation in London (house-sitting) but my ideal time would be next UK Summer, but then Brexit might have killed the contractor market.
Thoughts? Thanks.
