I'm currently on a 12 monther in Spain but the money's crap and so is the job as I'm not really utilising my skillset (C#, ASP.Net, C++) - lots of bug fixing and other such monotony. It does just about cover my mortgage and bills up to next July (though not much else) and I'm loath to coming back to the uk on spec after having worked 1 months notice to find that the market is dead. What would you do in this situation? Stick with it or take the plunge?
