A big development cycle was going on at an investment bank in the City. Due to the size of the project they couldn't fill all the roles with people with the business knowledge. They still wanted high calibre candidates though. Their agent, whom I had been through before and earned a very good reputation with came to me, and I went for it. The interview was tough as hell, but not too tough for me and now here I am.
So you see opportunities are there; it was that simple.
Of course now I have the knowledge I'll be doing my best to keep everyone else out
I work for an investment bank, hours are no longer than any other job I've been on. Yes you have to put them in every now and again but I've never been on a project where that wasn't the case.
Earning £500 a day I can pay my smallish mortgage, and rent a £1000 a month flat and still save a fair amount of cash.
What's more, I absolutely love the job. The quality of people is really high, and despite what people might say, really friendly.
There used to be another fellow on here who landed on his feet. His name was David Contractor Junior.
