    What an idiot!

    Yeah WHS.. get in, rape the training budget and CBT's. Gen up and join the market as an uptodate qualified professional and reap the rewards then.

    Show some eagerness to take on new work/areas but make very sure it fits nicely in to the contracting market.

    Some big companies are big in to this make your own future edict. If you got that level of flexibilty use it.

    Depending on what other options you have at the moment, I would probably take it.

    Get the most out of the situation that you can - training, new skills etc. and then when the time is right, get back into contracting (if you still want to by then, of course!).

    I'm almost at the point of considering any reasonable offers for my skillset...

    (Oh, and congratulations - any offer is good news at the moment)

    Not convinced the cash and effort is worth it; although I might regret that decision further down the line

    I used to be indecisive...
