    Market is pants

    I'm on the open market again.
    The rates are pants the roles want the moon and most interesting roles are perm.
    I've got a decent warchest, but the thing that is bothering me is I am sitting through rather boring weather and I'll hopefully be working in the summer.
    Anything to keep the motivation up?

        FYI
        Term used here is benched.
        UK: new projects start in April, staffing may not start until March.
        I normally head off to the sun, do phone interview from the beach, only fly back when I have an offer.

        HTH
        Fiscal nomad it's legal.

              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  True it is pants, especially when I'm applying for those decently paid gigs. I had like 7 calls over last 3 days for those 350-450pd so i guess i'll find something soon on "lower" rate

                    Less than 4 digits a day, we'll start a funding page for you
