    Ok thanks for the advice. I guess I'm panicking for no reason and just needed a bit of hand holding.

    I came from permie land as a consultant so my experience in these 4 areas is very fresh. One thing they teach you at consultancies is to blag your way in and keep your head down while you're working. It gives remarkably good results and for these four areas no one can point a finger at me and tell me I'm not a specialist.

    I also have a decent war chest so can hold off for a couple of months for a better contract. I guess I just have to stop worrying and keep on contracting.

      FTFY. Good luck out there.

      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
