one question for the oldies here, are you guys choosy re-which organisation to work for?? I have lots of blue chip companies & investment banks on my CV, but would it harm if I take a contract for a retail organisation if they pay OK, or should I hold on for an offer from a fancy company??Comment

I'm not fussy - I just go where the money is. And in my experience, the bigger the company, the more wankery the boss is!The pope is a tard.Comment

Blue chip end-client logos look far more impressive on my marketing literature than companies no one has ever heard of outside their particular niche.
I wouldn't discount smaller companies or non-household name niche globals if you get decent offers to contract there, but too many of them on a CV can kill it dead eventually because it makes you look like you can't hack it with the big guns and don't get offers from them.Comment

Show me the money!
Actually it's good to have a mixture. I have had a few smaller company contracts. It's good because you gain far wider experience in a shorter space of time. Most large companies won't let you install network cables and routers, provision firewalls, install unix operating systems, etc. if that's not your area of specialisation.
Also, it gives a bit of variety so that you can talk about something at the interview other than "and that year I worked for insurance company X"Comment
