Advice on Roles/Rates to go for

[icw]

Hi all,
I've been succesfully running as a ltd company for the past three years offering GoldMine CRM and HEAT (helpdesk) training, consultancy, support etc This has included basic SQL server administration, SQL views, Crystal Reports (from 8 to 11) Communicating with users and managers. managing small to medium rollout projects

I usually charge between £300 - £400 per day for this work and end up working about 12-16 days in the month (which has been fine for me)
Most of the work has been sub-contracting for resellers of the software. AS you can see it's a bit niche and has gone pretty quiet recently.

I'm thinking of going contracting in the new year. I 'm thinking initially to look at Data Analyst roles. Looking at my skill set is there anything else that stands out that might be worth looking at?
Also am i being unrealistic if i look for roles that pay around £250 - £275 per day?

Cheers ducks!

Don't duck the issue.

What the duck are you talking about?

Just make sure you've got all your ducks in a row.

Have a look at NHS Information Analyst roles. It's not a job I've done myself but there are always loads around. They may want NHS experience though - don't know if you'll get round it. Look on the usual boards.

Disapointing level of duck content in that post. 0/10.
