Which direction - Now what ?

[Solent]

OK, Situation update, suits have been in this week, company not looking good, they have granted my holiday request for December at long last. Have two interviews lined up for next week, back going contracting again, the only downside being I will miss my little girl, as they are not local but needs must if I get one, but I guess, short term measures for a long term gain. My philosopy is to work hard, earn decent money, as I said in previous thread, fair days pay for a fair days work but no corporate bullsh*t.

Contracting, child care, and when mums available (if she wants her daughter) juggling with Balls, I know how a single parent feels.

Ah well, there's people worse off than us...I must admit I dont contribute enough to this forum, but it does boost up my day as there as so much I relate to.

What sort of salary are you on for .NET work?

If contracting why go away? I'm in the same boat - 2 young children so would not consider staying away but i've always managed to stay local. I'd stay put, keep your ears open and something will come up.

That's almost my philosophy too - apart from the working hard bit.

Good luck, I've been local the last 18 months after working away for most of last 20 years. Typically, as soon as you start working away you'll start to see local jobs again!

Well the suits have wrapped up and the company has gone into Administration, so virtually everyone was made redundant. I have been kept on to assist them to start a new company but.... Contracting here I come again... Interview today, verbal confirmation from agent and contract's in the post. A very local company and long term gig. As you can tell I'm a very happy man and what a Christmas present !

Well done. But...

...remember to sober up by New Year. After all, you've got a job to go to.

Thanks Nomadd,

The Corks won't be popping until the signature is on the contract and yes; then a couple days blowout. Been a tough year

Solent,

Live local to you and have been contracting in the same skill area for the past 9 years (never had to take a contract out of the county). Best of Luck !
