Originally posted by Another Dodgy Agent View PostIT Recruitment in the City, is super busy, so many outsourcing deals going on, budget spend already approved, very, very busy. Downside, is roles are very specific, however if you have fund accounting, custody, fund admin, OTC/exotic derivatives, transfer agency experience then you will be in high demand on the contract front for at least the next two years.Comment

The thing is that I find working in finance suprisingly interesting, however you in finance there seem to be two types of IT contractors .. those that get stuck in a rut and those that work on parts of the system that the business actually views as being important.
I know which one I prefer.Comment

AnotherDodgyAgent is right, the roles are very, very specific.
I'm looking at Europe instead, particularly Switzerland.Comment
