15 years "senior" developer here. £900/day at a bank with little stress, and 9-5 hours. I've been a contractor for ten years and built up a lot of contacts, but some of my gigs I have gotten through recruiters and I'd recommend just applying for contracting positions. The hardest part when starting out contracting is getting past the recruiter (who just want to match your skills to the letter of the job specification).
