So, after well over a decade in Asia we have decided to come back to the UK (many personal reasons), and not by design we land on the 30th March.

Will we arrive to a post Brexit zombie wasteland where Costa and Starbucks have all been looted for the last Late on British soil or will it just be the same as before?

Having to take a gamble and come back jobless, as i work freelance as a IT Project / Program manager and although i have built a fair network from overseas, it seems (and fair enough too) that I need to be in the UK and able to physically get in front of Recruiters and Clients to do interviews.

So, whats the general feel on the IT industry as a whole, Infrastructure / Data Centers / Cloud as a sector, and Project / Program management as a discipline? I am following the theory that there is always Infra work, either to build, decom, move or upgrade, so whatever the general business trend is, there should be something happening.

Any PH Recruiters / Hiring managers out there who may have roles, drop me a PM and i will send you over my CV.

If you’re good, there shouldn’t be too much problem.

Guess it’s down to where you locate, how far you’re willing to travel and how much you want in remuneration.

Good luck!

Then this may be of some interest. If it gets going, it could be massive!

Ohh another NHS White Elephant! Worked with alot of the EDS / HP crowd that were part of the origional huge NHS project, they all turned up to make a cock-up of the Singapore e-Gov project!

There will be a lot to be made on that project though!
