Go for it! There's never been a better time. Always do the opposite of what the general consensus is (especially on here, these guys don't like the extra competition). Dive straight in, there's loads of dosh there for the taking.

The UK recession has ended so I don't see what there is to stop you coining it in.

As always it depends what your skillset is. Don't let people on this site put you off.

Don't even think about it. Even if you've enough savings to last a year, stay where you are until the contract market picks up - because it's dead at the moment.

Contract Help!

This is my first post so hello everyone!

I'm currently a permie, looking to go contracting asap and wondered if any of you have any advice for me at this time?

Is it a good time to make the transition or should I wait til the market picks up a little? Where's the best place to find a contract etc. Any feedback you have would be much appreciated.

I am a Linux sysadmin by trade btw...
