    After a long time in the wilderness I have an interview for a migration role tomorrow. Trouble is, it's a migration to a Siebel environment (of which I know diddly-squat). Frustrating that all those jobs I could have done on my head, the agencies concerned never forwarded my cv on. Suspect I'm only in the running for this as they don't want to pay market Siebel rates. Still, if it transpires, up to me to take advantage from it.
    Good plan mate, get the Siebel experience and see if ya like the work, why not.

      I've just had a call from an agent about a contract with NU after I responded to an ad. The advert said £160 a day, but when asked what rate I was looking for I said £18/hr (its 8 hour days so the advertised rate is effectively 20)
      Undersell yourself any more and you'll be paying them to employ you. Even milan earns more than that
      Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

        DA - I thought you would be encouraging this kind of thing, and creaming even more off us poor, hard-working souls...
