So how bad is the IT job market?
I think I've finally had enough of my job and it's time to start looking at pastures new. Loads of people have left our place recently, so I'm guessing that for the right candidate, there's work out there?
I'm currently a senior IT manager for a FTSE250 company (My teams look after servers, storage, network, data centres and DBs and I had a budget of ~£10M last year) so if anyone's looking for someone to come in and shake up their IT department and drag it into ITIL aligned, highly available, process driven maturity, I'm your man.

I did. It's been a great 4 years, I've learned loads, developed myself and it's really been an incredible experience but I think I'm just bored with the place now. I won't be rushing into anything but if the right job comes up over the next 3 months or so I'll probably jump ship. I'll want a personal massuese and a company helicopter, though.

Jobserve has a whole bucket load of jobs ranging from desk monkey right up to Tech Directors so someone is employing and the jobs are not sticking around long either.
I've got my CV together in preparation.

I had an agency call today for one of the major banks blah blah to then be told it's based in Jersey, how do you feel working there during the week and coming back at weekends? no thanks i've got young kids and a Mrs and no amount of money would tempt me into that type of lifestyle.
IT job market is crap for real jobs, plenty of advertised positions promising the earth that are out there to get CV's sent in.
