Sorted out tax planning prior to agreeing to the options? Given your dual nation role you really should have taken professional tax advice before agreeing.

Also don't forget American labour costs not UK ones. Your £100k a year is cheap if an American is on $200,000

Not with diesel you wouldnt, and you can always move.

MF, are you going to start a new website PermiactorUK?

Do seem to be less and less contracts available and more perm. positions. Is that because there are a large amount of IT people on the bench - just desperate...I've had a few enquiries about perm. positions - but two issues

Salaries suck up north. Be luck to crack the £40K even with 20 years experience.

The work is 40 miles away. Though the agent seems to think that is commutable.

My experience probably goes against me and that I've flipped through different technologies in the past 5 years (PHP, mySQL, .Net, Access, Oracle) So all I get is rubbish.
