You fools! This is a perfect opportunity!

Join the HMRC and bring down the project from the inside! Take one for the team and the greater good of the contractor family!

I was in Financial Services for 11 years, took a 9 month role in retail, rolling out a new EPOS system - trying to a get a gig immediately after that was challenging - the recruiters seem to think in 9 months, any Financial Services knowledge would have disappeared!

Nah you were just up against people who had been continually in FS and have the same skill set as you.

If you are doing the latest and greatest stuff they don't care what industry sector you were in and moved from.

Financial Services

Is this the case even if you also have financial services industry experience?

They want people who have proven records of working with tulip.

Most Public Sector contractors are the dregs, taking laughable rates in exchange for zero productivity, because no Private Sector client that needs to turn a profit would touch them.

Standards must be dropping if the top investment banks want ex-HMRC contractors, blimey.

Its Hector, they don't know their arse from their elbow so I can be an expert

You're absolutely right. You know your arse from your elbow. You know one more thing than they do, which is the consultancy definition of an expert. Lead on my friend!

Once public sector appears on your CV, you can forget ever getting a contract in the financial services industry.

I've just gone from PS to FS although I had extensive FS before the PS gig.

Not if you're anywhere near the revolving door.
