It's all moved on on since I last worked in that kind of environment. All Scrum and Sprints now. Still, not quite as much of a hurry to deliver my products as there might have been as someone forgot to order the servers and then hire the trainers.

I'm glad I didn't spend my warchest when I went permie; it meant I could go contracting again easily.

Watch for the two-year rule if it's within about 10 miles of your old client
