      I got into contracting as a support (2nd line) bod.

      You want to look for desktop/infrastructure/Exchange rollouts and refreshes, those are the contract gigs that require your skill sets. Desktop and application virtualisation has quite a lot going on.

      From there I went into apps packaging (discovery and testing and making install guides etc) into PMO and now fully fledged BA in the BA rate bracket.

      That's how I did it. Get out of the BAU mindset and into projects that you can contribute to. How's your Windows 8? How is your desktop/cloud/Office 365?

        L2 is out there for us - but L1 is with the traders. What happens when you need to visit a trader?

                    Are you sure contracting is for you?
