Hi AJ,
Sorry , been on hols for a while and tried to reply to your PM, your mailbox is full. I'm certainly interested in discussing trends, I've had recent contracts through this bunch --> oraclecontractors.com and as they are ex apps/techies themselves they are very straight up, my current gig is not apps, it's a datawarehouse 10g (subcontinent-consulting) modelling mess with the apps bit being taken up by SAP which makes life ..........yawn, and worse ........ it's government.
by the way, it's been 6 years since I worked in the UK, i'm OZ based now.
cheers

the pipeline doesn't seem any better or worse than usual. i had 3 months on the bench early last year other than that its straight out of one contract into another. mind you i am willing to travel - my current gig is mainland europe.
"something always comes up". thats the motto.
hopefully that next something will be 12 rather than 11 'cos it is time to move on eh?Last edited by DS23; 30 May 2007, 13:17.Comment

family is why i insist on non-standard working practices when working abroad (4 days in 3 or 5 days in 4) plus working from home whenever possible / necessary. means that at least one day a week i can do the kids run. every little helps.Comment

UK market seems OK to me, as long as you're flexible.
I was looking 12 weeks ago, and things were great. Decided to take a month off, came back and it was really quiet - took another three weeks to get anything else.
Since then, I've had lots of calls from agents to see if I'm available again...
No doubt, if you give it a week or so, you'll be fending them off again - or go to Europe, and work from home occasionally.Comment
