Inspiration Fae Chappit Neeps!

[MikeyT]

Hi fellow Dandies,

 

After reading Chappit Neeps thread about coming home from Oz, I thought I'd try a similar plea. I work in IT as a DBA (SQL Server/Oracle/Informix) and I'm looking for a move home from London, but I have no idea what the market is like now, and I haven't used an agency since I was a tiny wee lad. Any help, advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers!

Right People are a good agency in Aberdeen that specialise in IT.

Thorpe Molloy have recently expanded into the IT area. They are good enough to deal with but I have no experience with their IT section.

Cheers lads - I have contacted both. Any idea what the market is like in the 'deen just now?

Very, very buoyant overall however I'm not sure what the IT market is like specifically.

 

There should be a decent whack of IT jobs on Oil Careers anyway.

 

If you have over 10 years experience, and your situation allows it, I'd recommend going down the Contractor/Limited Company route if the opportunity arises.

 

Day rates in Aberdeen at the moment are just daft in a lot of professions.

 

Never does any harm to send your CV on spec to all the Operators as well.

Can vouch for the IT market. Eh turned doon a role over there last month. Seemed there is plenty going, and while the role was good, we came to the conclusion flitting was a non-starter.
