Hi There,
I just started work in the UK as a FTE in January and am on a salary of 65k a year in IT company. I am getting quiet restless as the work is crap and boring and would like to start contracting. I started applying to positions on jobserve that are paying approx 500-600 per day and talked to a few agencies. I am finding the whole process to be quiet slow, I thought with contracting the market was booming at the moment. After one week looking I have not received any interviews yet.
Also, I have been reading that if I apply via the agencies they can take a cut for managing the contract etc, what’s this all about? I thought the contract was with you and the company that hired you. Why are the agency involved?
I thought contracting would be a good choice, because I would have lots of options open to me and ideally could move around after 6 months.
Any thoughts?
