.NET Need Advice. Developer From Aus looking for first contract

[Mordac]

They might have been prepared to drop their standards for a tasty bit of totty, but for an Aussie? Not so sure...

[Joe Black.]

not necessarily... I have just under 6 years experience and have done plenty of lead tech dev roles and also team and project leading... all based in london.

Yeah i agree. Is there really much difference between 6 and 8 years? 3 years is plenty to gain the necessary exp.

plus I've met plenty of developers (permie and contractor.. no discrimination here! ) who have supposedly had many more years of experience than me but I've eventually ended up having to clear up the mess they've made of things.

I was desperately trying to phrase it so that it wasn't mis-read in the way that it obviously now has been

Well, I'm not specifically looking for team lead positions, I'll be happy with a programmer role, and I agree there's good and bad programmers regardless of experience. From my experience in Perth anyway, more bad than good. I know I'm one of the good ones, I hate failure, every project I've fulfilled my end of the bargain and had to help others fulfill theirs many times. It's just frustrating when you're trying to get started in a new country. I have my British passport ( born here but left when I was 10 ), so thought I'd have a bit of an advantage over the average migrant. Agents drive me crazy with all their little games, if they were just straightfoward everyone's lives would be easier. I know, being naive again.
