I've been reading this thread with much interest, because I seem to have fallen foul of several of the problems mentioned here - mostly those revolving around complacency and the resulting stagnation of skills, leading either to a flooded market full of people who are willing to work for less than you, or (worse still) the phasing out of the product you've developed expertise in.
The general concensus seems to be to get experience in a more modern skill that reflects your current career direction (i.e. Notes -> Exchange, ASP -> ASP.NET and so on).
But how the hell do you go about this - short of returning to perm and starting right at the bottom of the ladder on <20k alongside a load of graduates?Comment
