    Been offered a gig but its not really what I do it as an end user of the tool rather then developer of it, currently I am developer of it am.

    I'm worried if I take it it would dilute my technical skills and make it harder to get another contract but gig has lots of pro's the rate is very good, the work is easy, I have a lot of mates at the client and they all leave the office bang on 5pm, the contractor would be a longer termer as well years in fact if I wanted it.

    Would you take the gig ? Ive included a poll

          Wasn't after specifics, just relative. If a user pays as much a developer, go for it...

              Go for it. You can add your user experience to your CV, which will show all round experience in the software.
