I'm from the NW, and would gladly move back there like a shot. Problem is, too little work and too low a rate of pay to make it worthwhile. I've asked clients for years why they don't move North and out of London, but they claim they'd just never be able to find the staff. Not sure how true that is, but it's a mindset you just can't shake them from.nomadd liked this postComment

Well the company I know who did it got work from the big London banks, BUT he used to work in that world and then set up his company probably with all the connections.
If you put a team together and then go looking for clients rather than wait fro them to look for you, then maybe?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

My work is all in IBs, and they are paranoid about letting anything escape the building in the large-scale front-office Architecture/Design side of things I work on. And Development work is sent to India, Singapore, etc. these days, with very low rates, so hardly worth pitching against.
I'm simply resigned to clinging on for a couple more years and then calling it quits. The I.T. contracting industry lost its charms for me many years ago. Sadly, I'm only in it for the money these days - and there seems to be less and less of that around!nomadd liked this postComment
