    If you're thinking about going permie........

    How about this :

    SENIOR ANALYST PROGRAMMER (Oracle - JDeveloper/ADF) job

    It's not even got light in Manchester today, so a few years in the Caribbean looks rather tempting

      Bank I work for has a branch in Cayman.

      So far they have been unresponsive to offers of supplying services from there....

        I think it sounds better than it is.

        Employment rights in the Cayman Islands aren't that great, from what I gather.

        Plus you'll spend a fair bit of that salary on travel and living expenses.

            I have friend that did a five year stint there (working in the corporate legal world).

            She loved it and was far better off financially than she is now (in NZ) but there was a limit to how long she could put up with the small island mentality so the time came when she felt it necessary to move on.

                Ah the Cayman islands, famous for its sandy beaches and its vast quantities of naturally occurring broken images.
