>Anyway, the down-side: It's in the City of London (1.5 hrs commute - once I've got to the train - each way - and something I've always abhorred), the travelling would cost a bomb, it's only for 3 months, then I'm back as I was.

>The upside: In that 3 mths I can earn up to nearly half of my last yearly salary (dep on what rate the agent can blag me). The role is as the VFP guru in a team that is converting a VFP suite to C# and .NET - sort of front-ending the developers. So there's the opportunity for me to absorb that side of the business and get it under my belt for my CV.

>What dya think? Sound like a good move? Useful experience? Who knows, I might even get to like the "high-life" in the City.
Go for it, tiger! You never know - you may just teach the guys how to do data, and end up being their DB guru - show them a few SQL tricks etc. Make your name heard in a few places. Can't hurt - and with the money you'd make, you'll have an easier time resting between that and the next time the phone rings.
