.NET Winforms roles seem to have dried up except for city slicker types with banking sector background. My CV is pretty good with recent .NET 2.0, 3.0 WCF, LINQ and the like but I'm getting the usual agency banter with nothing concrete emerging...not even an interview after a month of looking despite a couple having been promised.
My current client where the gig ends this Friday has offered me a rolling 1 week open ended contract until I can find something else paying better which is nice except it's at 65% of my current rate. They know I'll be off if something more lucrative appears but they have dangled the one week notice thing to make it more attractive.
I know some on here will respond with "tell 'em to screw off" but I do have bills to pay and only a few months backup in the bank, so it's a proposition I'm seriously considering. It seems a better option than going perm and still keeps a workable level of cash rolling in. Anyone else in a similar position?
