Take a look at the Contract-IT-Job-Market on IT JobsWatch uk ( https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/Contract-IT-Job-Market https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/Contract-IT-Job-Market). It's a bit biased to the banking sector; but it gives you a general idea of the skills demand (and rates!). edit: Not just banking sector; but IT service providers. Europe (and the UK) are mostly service providers, I mean: usually don't develop IT products that they sell to others. We usually integrate and maintain stuff developed elsewhere (mostly by US companies).
