    Boomed! Market can't be that bad!

    I just started my 2nd contract after finishing 8 months in my first role. Role is much better as well. Anybody else managed to go from gig to gig recently?

    How is everybody else finding the market?

    Do you mean market in general or market inside M25?

      Yep - 2nd time this year gig to gig. Wasn't even looking this time as a month holiday was planned, but was called whilst away and telephone interviewed for start when I got back. Client was prepared to wait a month. I've been lucky as Release/Config/Build Manager roles have been in demand this year. A lot of clients looking at redefining their SDLC's (tools and processes) to find savings so plenty of work.

        I managed that in March. This time however I've been looking since Sept and my market has a serious puncture. All of this seems in line with current UK business and consumer confidence though, so not really surprised. Have recently managed to line up a couple of interviews at least.

          Congrats,

          Just got email with a 6 month extension the other day.
          Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.
