“At the moment, the demand for .Net in the media sector is increasing as companies are beginning to release development budget again. These positions can be slightly more tricky to obtain, as often, employers will be looking for candidates with industry experience – not just the required qualifications of skills.
At present, the insurance industry seems to have more roles than people for positions - businesses are prioritising legality and peace of mind as areas of importance. Again, the issue for candidates is often a need for specific industry experience along with skills such as Genius and Lloyds of London market experience.
Geographically, those areas within reasonable commute of large cities and business hubs can offer good financial rewards for those with who wish to work there. Employers are having to compete with the draw of the easy commute large city firms and so wages are very competitive.”
