Hello all,

I hope i find you all in good spirits? I have a job for a global law firm that’s for 6 months paying £30 an hour to do some application development in Java / J2EE more specifically on their content and document management systems. So if anyone fancies this role and has developed portals and Content / document management systems then let me know!

£30 an hour? And what am I supposed to live on while I do that contract?

What with all the indian outsourcing i'd have thought a development job going to someone in the uk might have interested you, clearly not. It's obviously far more productive for you to make snidey comments, cheers, thanks, really good of you... sorry i offerd someone a contract you're obviously far too much of a big fella to consider anything as lowly as this so i reccomend probably going to a different thread.
