Contracting Market

[MarillionFan]

Hello

I used to be a contractor and a poster on this board, but went perm. Now I think I may go contracting again.

Does the panel think this is a good idea? Is the market looking up or has it taken a pasting?

Yours

Oh dear. Lamped your boss again, eh?

If once again you're only intending to go contracting for your present employer: go for it, the rest of the market's irrelevant.

Imagine going out and having a skinful of Guinness and several large vindaloos.
Then imagine the next morning on the toilet as all the waste products from the previous night emerge
- get up and look down at the toilet bowl.
See what you have produced, then multiply it a thousand fold until it fills the new Wembly stadium.

Now you're getting close to the current state of the market.

Don't know about the UK but here in Holland the market seems slightly better than it was in january and february. Unfortunately that's a bit like saying that banging your head against a brick wall is more fun than having a red hot poker shoved up your arse.

Delightful! Probably true though.

You could go for it MF, be prepared for a few void periods though and some crap rates.

After a brief upward blip in April/early May the market is now worse than I have ever seen it. Like Wembley full of sh!t? It's overflowing.

So you reckon it would be a bad idea to jack in a 100K job with 5 weeks a year holiday where I work about 60-80 hours a week though with unsociable hours?

I'm not sure you know. I think you're all just making it up.

Remember a good contractor will always get work.

Hiya MF!

Come back to the board anyway - there's a growing number of ex-contractor regulars on here (you know who you are!! )
