Oh yes, since he didn't mention the MSDN certification then it's not him, sorry.

Nah, .Net in the City is where it's at. Forget all this credit crunch woes, it's only bankers, not techies.

Franko, people reading this will think cross-training into SAP will bring them untold riches, whereas the truth is penury and despair.

Get them M$ books out lads and get stuck in.

SAP and Europe. All boomed. Prepare the carriages to bring back the gold, lads.

A chap from accidenture at ClientCo in NL overheard me saying I’d done some SAP testing and immediately asked me for a CV and business card; he says he’d prefer me to be available today but he’ll wait. According to him Accidenture (I know, bunch of overrated numpties) currently have no testers on the bench in NL and are now hiring contractors to fill in at clients.

Nah, all the work is being done remotely from India.

Nothing to see here... move along now...

I wonder with the Pound getting closer to parity with the Euro and perhaps having the chance of going beyond, I wonder if this will lead to more people from the UK looking for work on the mainland ?

I guess the answer is yes, and the barrometer is that our very own die-hard croydon-ite MarrilionFan is looking for work in the Eurozone.

Main thing is folks, there's no work on the mainland and despite what anyone says you are better off working in the UK.

Ha!

Brown and Darling have "saved the world" you loser!

So much so the German chancellor is feeling against them.

We would rather starve in the streets (which is what is going to happen) than lower ourselves to living with Eurolosers.
