I'd love more experience in another position (more tools/processes exposure) before contracting, so I'm thinking that I may take a permie position if I do find it hard to get a contract!Comment

As I don't know much about particular areas of Londinium, I couldn't tell you if it was a good or bad one."Israel, Palestine, Cats." He Said

Its just come one month till I arrive, so I've started looking at what contracts and jobs were out there. Not really contracts in my specialization, although lots in .NET.
One listing caught my eye, but it is permanent (£35-40k+ben). It sounded just the type of work I want to do, so I uploaded my CV. Within the next day, I had received a phone call from the recruitment company to learn more about my skills and whether they matched what the client was after (as it is a pretty specialized field).
I know there is one month before I even enter the country, but what is the market like for contracts in London duing September? Would it be worth proceeding with the interview, or just wait until I arrive, and try my luck at landing a contract.Comment
