    I'm in a similar situation.

    Hang in there, stock the warchest up, and plan 2-3 months off over the summer, which is what I'm doing.

    If it gets really bad take a stopwatch and a calculator next time you visit trap #2 - always cheers me up that.

    and you are all absolutely correct, it is only about the money at the moment. It's pretty close to home too, and I know I shouldn't complain!

    thanks!
    Ah lovely. There you go then, answered your own dilemma!

    Stick with it but start looking, then you can be on a tulip project and have agents on your case as well.

    Just think of the 3 month old baby. Enough said!

    I've decided I no longer like working in IT Departments with people who have no social skills and commercial knowledge whatsoever.

    Presently going through negotiations so move into a senior Sales Operations role instead, where I can sit nicely between IT and Sales and act as an interpreter.

    The market is bad, and do you want to have to deal with agents again?

    It's money. I think you have a child (not sure now I've said that) and if so, grit your teeth and keep the pennies rolling in...

    Think of the money and forget how awful the project is. It can't be worse than not working.
