The place I work at the tech / dev is around 80% provided by Indians - both on shore and off shore. They seem able to swap over between here and India without much fuss.

My wife quit her director life to become a teacher. Its taken her roughly four years to take her salary from something like £27k to around £43k which is far faster than most teachers due to her industry experience and being able to fast track herself into leading her department etc. The working...- dx4100

The reality is you have very little rights until you have been anywhere for two years or more. Someone on a FTC is the lowest of the low in the food chain. No real commitment to you and at the lowest rate they can get away with and most of it going to the HMRC. At least on a proper perm...- dx4100

So I have been in the lucky position to have had back to back contracts while the market has been dead. Some how managed to dodge all the recent bullets. I was even offered a contract extension well into next year (probably too the end). But I am going to chance my arm on a perm role - accepted...- dx4100
