I am now retired but my last job was in London as Tech'Author, Instrumentation!
Why do you mention IT what has that got to do with anything??
I was and have been for years self employed working on contracts, never out of work, Tech' Authors are like rocking horse sh*t very rare!!
My last job was based in London, (4 years ago) at about £35 per hour, dont forget that was contract work, not 'salary' I never worked for 'salary' the 'company men would get about £25k a year give or take a few quid, so why be a company man??
If you want to make money go self employed! It means travelling around the UK and sometimes overseas but look into it!
I still have job offers coming in even now and the contract money has shot up, but if for some reason you want to be a company man then its not for you!!
If you want to contact me please feel free to do so, maybe I could give you a few leads, (not for company jobs, I wouldnt touch them with a barge pole), I mean for proper contract work!!
Good luck in your search!!
