Anyone here dipped in and out of technical roles? Been doing BA roles for a while now, but an old client got in touch, they may have some work for me, only its technical work not sure I want to go back to having no life, and actually be expected to do work I had a few years now of having it so easy, all I have to produce is nicely coloured PowerPoint slides or a word document.

Best to keep your tools sharp as well as your management skills, more doors stay open. Also it may provide you with another income, if more work turns up you can sub it out.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
