Ive been gone from the UK for 8 years to sunny Perth Western Australia where the development life cycle is very relaxed. Been contracting for 12 years in UK and Perth. Fact is, I am so bored, bored beyond belief in fact. Not much to do unless you enjoy blue skies, sun, sand, sea, surf etc...which I did but now am tiring of the endless isolation.
Been thinking about a return to the UK, so started browsing the job sites, reading the articles full of the usual scare stories...immigrants, offshoring, ir35 (which is new to me). Whats it really like? Is the contract market booming, I was on 50 GBP when I left 8 years ago then for VB, SQL, Sybase, currently Im on $50 Aus for .NET and SQL. Norwich is looking very attractive, but no contract market? Any advice?
