If I am unable to use my creativety I'd rather do something completely different. I don't want to go to my grave and think the last 30 years paid well but bored me to death.
Each to their own. Although I enjoy the financial rewards of contracting, I'd rather take a less well paid career change than do stuff related to IT I have no interest in (managing offshore projects to save pennies when it quite often doesn't work out like that).

It's all about adapting to changing circumstances and moving out of commoditised "IT". You can't really compete with Bob or Pavel, so don't try.

Originally posted by milanbenes View PostWhat shocks me the the most is that, in my opinion, general salaries have not improved since the mid 90's.
Yet during the same period the cost of living has risen dramatically and the value of the currency has fallen in parallel
Now the tories are in, watch it take off.

I would like a 6 month contract, to keep me bussy until I head off for the winter. But the war chest can take me having 9 months off.
