You've missed out meeeediaaaaaa.

Also, what the f**k do you mean by "Software" as an industry?

It is a very bad poll.

However, it would be nice if someone redesigned it with better options. I would be interested in the results.

Lets wait a few weeks and then do a proper CUK Survey. Age/Industry/Hourly Rate/Years as a contractor.

I'd be quite interested to be honest. But we probably need a good sample 100-200+ to get good statistics.

Lets try and put a proper survey together for next month?

lol reminds me of that summary of the difference between process and discrete manufacturing. when things break down in process they go splat and when they go wrong in discrete they go crash. or something.

Along the lines of when things go wrong in process you need a mop but with discrete you need a dustpan and brush.

You know you can consult across different verticals don't you?

Can you tell the agents this? They seem to thing that candidates should not stray into other verticals.

I've been in automotive the last 6 years. Trying to get into banking but nobugger will let me. I have a good mate who's a PM in banking, and swapping war stories, automotive is a much harder gig.

But no. "Must have experience of banking".

The one industry that no one else in this country seems to work in:

Engineering

My clients generally make things.

Sometimes it's big expensive things that people use to tell the world they've made it big. Sometimes it's little things that are only used once a year but give people pleasure.....

Where is the Public Sector option?

Some of us still bill great rates in secure industries for doing nothing.
