Do you think you will still be 'working' in IT in 5 years?

Another option: Probably, but not in this country.

Good point. Too late to add it as a poll option now though.

I have legacy skills. I'd be amazed if I could even get another contract after this one

Surely there must be an organisation still using punched cards.

I just voted Andyw.

WHS.

Plus there was no poll option for working in IT outside the UK.

Erm, I'll still be in IT, but it won't be in the UK, as that's in it's death throes. Which do I tick?

[ThomasSoerensen]

Hopefully employing someone to do most of the work for me, but yes. Still in IT. Will take me more than 5 years to stash away my 1.5mill 'retirement' pot when I can start doing random crap.

please note that you will most likely require in the area of 4mill - it shouldn't change the plan too much

Well I'd not stop working with 1.5mil in the bank. Just work to cover my outgoings, let the pot grow until "retirement" age.

Or just get that catamaran and sail around the Caribbean living off fish, rum and seafood... yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me?!

5 years ago I would have replied "I hope not"

Then I couldn't get a gig.

Then I left IT.

Then I was offered a great gig, 5 mins from home. Which I turned down.
