    Can you / should you trust mortgage brokers?

    Thanks :) definitely. The reason I asked here because I found these broker companies via this forum - I know fellow contractors were happy with either.

    Can you / should you trust mortgage brokers?

    Thanks all, that's quite a few replies in short time :) Ok, I understand this may have sounded vague, but I don't have any family here in the UK and most of my friends are still renting. I just want to understand whether I can trust brokers' advice... I told the broker i am looking to buy with...

    I want to understand technical side of IT Project Management

    I want to understand technical side of IT Project Management

    NLUK - I really respect you from reading the forums, but it looks like your really like telling people this. I never said I am a PM - I said I want to learn the skills and I want to become a PM one day. I think everyone started somewhere? I can support PMs as a perm or as a contractor - so far...

    I want to understand technical side of IT Project Management

    I get what you say and it all makes sense. I realise I might end up on the bench any time and I will then go back to perm if I have to. I don't want to do it now as I have an extension for another 6 months + an interview for a contract of 12 months. I realise contracting is not a career, but...
