    Somebody said your cv will be one of "750". It depends on your area. If your area is popular, eg you are a Python developer, yes there are loads of opportunities, but loads of Python devs too. If you are more of a minority, I don't know, say a backups architect, then you compete with fewer people, for a smaller number of roles. Contractors on this forum are all in different areas so their experience of the job market differs widely.
    True, but a PM/BA with a "consultancy" background is about as generic as you can get, in a market where clients (or more accurately agencies) are buying specific experience.
