Hi,
I'm being made redundant from my company and am tempted to try contracting.
I've got 20 years of IT experience, 5 of which are as an IT Project Manager, I'm Prince2 Practitioner certified and have run both infrastructure projects, and development projects for a leading UK retailer.
In the last 3 years, most of my experience has been in project managing Oracle developments (OBIEE and EBS) and my prior technical career was as a Java Web Developer.
I've got a family life and so would only really be willing to work in London (plus Kent or Surrey).
...my question is, is this an unrealistic restriction?
i.e. would I *have* to travel to stand any chance of finding contracts? Note, I'm not that fussed about rates, I'd prefer to lose £100/day than have to drive for hours a day, or stay away all week in hotels etc.
I don't have any financial services experience - but would be happy to work in any sector that would employ me!
Any help, or suggestions greatly appreciated.
Regards
David Bevan.
