Spot on. These companies hire them for 100k+ starting salary just after graduation.

We'll I went into contracting during the recession (having quit my perm job at the end of 2010) so I haven't seen what it's like when things are booming. The market in my niche has been quiet since early November so I've been doing shorter contracts both inside and outside my niche since then working from home which has been a good change.
This week I accepted a 4 day a week PM contract working via a huge software vendor for a large law firm client that's only 20mins from home and can be flexible working too after a few weeks. So this still gives me some time to work on plans B & C and maintain some of the short term contracts I've been doing.
Just what I needed before heading off to the mountains this weekend
BOOM!

My first exposure to Bobs or the indian offshore industry was back in 2001 when our whole IS dept in EMEA was offshored (California based tech co.) and we were give an option to join the Bob company or take the redundancy package.... The ironic thing was the SVP at the team who initiated this was was also a Bob (he started out a programmer when he first moved to the US) but had essentially become a BRAD (as climbed the ranks to to become the SVP of a fortune 500) was a $millionaire on paper !!!
Anyways for me I took the redundancy package and took a leap of faith in contracting and have not looked back since! So if it were not for Bob and Brad I would still be forced into doing my personal development plan each year and getting mugged into thinking the 1% raise that I got was something I should be thankful for!Comment
