Completely agree with you. In the London area it’s white expensive to live due to how expensive housing is. Contracting might be a good thing for a tech guy with a specific skill but a lot of people like me like to have something standard and be more secure in a way that they won’t need to search for another gig in 3 months. I guess the more contracting you do the more reliable you become and you constantly close down gigs knowing your intake for a year before signing any contracts, but I’d say it’s still a bit hard. From what I’ve seen if you are a developer going to Manchester or Birmingham or something like that and getting a gig might be the best thing you can do, since the cost of living goes heavily down and the salary drop is not that massive unless you were working on finance tech which tends to pay higher.
