I vote for Big Data.

Things in technology tend to evolve to have more uses.

Payments you can go back to any time.

I vote for payments.

Big Data strikes me as a bubble area.

Payments will never go out of fashion, they will just evolve over time. It has been and probably always will be a niche area.

You're a contractor. No one else in the world has it easier to "move on" from one project/gig to the next...

Yep but subtlety doesn't translate online and many contractors really don't think about things long term. They look at the now and ignore the future...

From the two I think the Big Data one will pay more money next time round... Payment channels aren't anywhere near as CV sexy....

Big Data was my thought, but I can't justify it.

You need a polll!

Big data, if it's a good gig. Any moron can get a payments role - from what i've seen they're generally all hacked together pieces of tulip.

Big data requires something a bit less generic than general hacking prowess (and a tolerance for it). Big Data is something i've got my eye on as I've dipped my toes but not really enough to sell yet.

What's the best for the CV?
