In the meantime a dirth of IT professionals is causing a bubble in rates and the $AUD is now over the $US and on it's way to parity with Sterling. If there was ever a time to work Down Under, this is it. See your local recruitment agent about visas to Oz, they are getting easier to come by.Comment

One more week at existing clientco then I'm on my next role. But now existing clientco has said that I can continue to work evenings and weekends as much as I like, so now I have two roles.
Is that like the anti-bench?
pssssst still plenty of work here in the lucky country, this place is going off!Comment

I've been out of contract all through April. nothing at all. seemingly loads to apply for, but a friendly agent at Quantam told me she's getting 150+ for each and every role.
I got an interview with an asset managment company, had to wait 4 weeks for a 2nd interview (me and one other). Then found out the "other" was an internal candidate, who unsurprisingly got the job!
Been a bit busier this week with calls, but nothing positive at all. I was in the insurance support managment areas, but they got hammered by the middle east, Australian floods and Japan. so let go.
I know of 3 copmanies who have now outsourced to TATA in India, so no more work there.Comment
