I've never heard of it, it looks like a gumtree clone?

Tis a total gumtree clone. I've been offered a job there that's all and I'm hesitating because I think they're a bit sh*t kicker.

Gumtree offered me a job ages ago but I turned it down as it was a ball ache to get to - Richmond.

why not go for something finance/trading related since you're into that anyway? banks pay silly amounts for contractors and lots of them are pants.

if they're funny about finance experience then maybe try some smaller buy side firms - hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, options market makers etc...- while some of these will want people with esoteric skill sets for ridiculously low latency stuff  other firms might well be using Java etc...

http://marketcetera.org/ is open source and perhaps worth taking a look at

there are some open source FIX applications too

am sure there will be some smaller firms out there who are prepared to pay a fairly decent rate to someone who can simply get stuff done with no fuss...

I can't get into banking. They always want banking and I don't have it. And I'm not prepared to drop down to "developer" to gain banking experience. I'm only willing to do head of development / CTO roles.

could be your lucky day Sam

I once read about a guy who ran the lonely hearts section in a news paper (years ago, pre-internet)

he nicked all the best ads out for himself and kept them out of the paper so he didn't have any competition



obv. as you're now married, you'll just have to pass them onto me instead ?
(just the hot/blind/dumb ones tho)
