Right, I am going contracting. Thanks for the advice everyone. Im unsure whether contracting is the long term goal.....whatever will be will be.

I'm also 25, chana; and have just made the jump to contracting though I'm in a slightly different position - I was in a job paying £55k, and jumped straight to £450+ rates. I'm confident that this year I'll clear a lot more than £55k; and without office politics that can come into play when you're a very senior member of staff at a relatively young age (and in my line of work although training was "available", I never got to do it because I was so busy).
Personally, I'd say you've made the right decision especially as you don't (appear to) have a mortgage, wife, kids as I do. One thing I'd make sure is that you're confident that the market for your skills is flush with contracts; and particularly in the areas that you're willing to travel. If, after this contract, you needed to go to London, for instance, would it make financial sense for you?
If you can answer these questions, and are confident that they'll be plenty of roles in the future in places where you can afford to stay without incurring massive costs; then I'd say it's a great decision.
Hope the future goes really well!Comment
