PM contracts
What's the market like for project managers at the moment. I'm experienced but not getting much traction (no investment banking so most of the London ones not suitable). I was wondering if its me or a general market malaise???- Pingu2

Ajilon - "Employed Consultant"
I am an "employed consultant" with Spring, part of Adecco. I took the job because I needed to work. I wouldn't do it again. Their contract terms are deplorable, basically you have none of the security of being a permie with none of the benefits of being a contractor. There's no pay premium, but...- Pingu2

Anyone worked for Sky in Osterly?

Fixed term contracts
Just been offered a fixed term contract (for 9 months on what is equivalent to a pretty low rate). Just wondered what experience people here have of these, as it seems to me they are the worst of both worlds - no security of being a permy and none of the flexibility / money of contracting. Been...- Pingu2
