        Got a gig until January next year...no permiedom for me, put down 50k offer last month. I'm thinking to have a break next year in February, not quite sure yet...
        Anyway the market looks quite tulipe now in telecom in terms of number of contracts, not price.
        Btw, how many of you would choose a contract abroad? I would like to dive into one next year, just waiting for the proper moment...

          Market seems to be booming at the moment. I've just got a 10% rise to my best ever rate for the next six months

                  re-signed until end of Jan and the client has said they want me for at least 6 months after that !! Keep being asked to go for interviews, turned down a 70k perm job with benifits as its not right for me at the mo. Things are looking ok as far as I can see....
                  SA says;
                  Well you looked so stylish I thought you batted for the other camp - thats like the ultimate compliment!

                  I couldn't imagine you ever having a hair out of place!

                    Ah Forumbore - are you still hating me over that little Futisu argument?!
