Telecommunications Market Place and Rates

The UK Market place has a healthy demand for flexible candidates with the right skills and attitude towards contract work. Most Telco contract roles are very similar to roles in the general IT market and it is often difficult to differentiate them. There are however a range of roles similar to IT contract roles but Telco specific.

Again starting  in the contract market does offer opportunities for rate rises as the market improves whereas permanent work is less likely to provide flexibility and rate improvements. At BITE we’ll try to help you understand your place in the UK market place and rates in the London and south east area.
