Hi all long time lurker here , fantastic site for insight on contracting Im at a point where I would need seasoned advice on what I should do at the moment? I'm in a complex situation - its doing my head in!!
if I can list it out where I am - and I am keen to get back on the contracting wagon again!!
1) last time contracting was 2013 (networks and storage)
2) got married 2013
3) ran sole trader business from 2014-17 (cctv and large wifi deployments)
4) separated 2017
5) business declined due to stress and pending divorce e.g moving house
6) went on ESA benefits
7) sept 2018 started university course PGCE (thought of career change teaching IT)
8) oct 2018 divorce and financial settlement agreed
9) settlement received Jan 2019
10) settlement could affect my benefits and student loan/grants in the main.
Do I continue my course till June or start contracting so I can buy property while prices are favourable before Brexit? its doing my head in cos in one hand my course is boring ASF!
Id rather be doing tech work and the other hand is financial challenges due to settlement.
I had thought of part time contracting while I do my uni course- hard to find and rates probably not high enough to secure a self build mortgage im also not sure if PGCE (higher education)has any bearing on contracting anyone know if any IT training contracts that has the same pull of rates comparative to the norm?
How long does it take to get a contract? last time of memory back in 2012 it was 3 months
hope you can help guys!
