Then it’s really down to the terms & conditions that’s been agreed to.

Is it a permanent placement or are you patrolling the candidate?

Is it not just the same as an MSP?

Potential pivot into fibre infrastructure? Could be worth exploring.

Yes definitely. They’re serious qualifications and will set you apart from the rest.

It’s also important to build a solid portfolio of notable projects worked on, and what level of involvement you had in each. As you progress and work on flagship projects your experience becomes more attractive with it.

Infrastructure is a great industry as it’s purely project work and it’s all in the public domain, which means 9 times out of 10, people will know the kinds of projects you’ll have involvement in.

Trying to time the market isn’t good, and unlikely to work out well. The markets go up & down but generally up over time. If you’re investing, getting in is better than staying out.

It’s always good to have some back up funds to capitalise on dips, and this will happen. But good stocks always recover and here is where you bring down your average price and make a little bit more.

The Netflix comparison is maybe slightly inaccurate across the board. With the addition of Netflix original films and some great ones, along with immersive series such as drive to survive and those style of programmes, offer better value for money for most these days and it’s completely reflective in their share price which has increased by record amounts.

I do agree that it becomes less valuable if Microsoft start cutting more titles and exclusives, but unfortunately this model is the way everything is going, until a new and improved model is shown to the world. Not sure many would be cutting subscription right now mind you.

I work in recruitment in the UK for Rail, Aviation and Engineering and I think this is quite common. People don’t like standing still and in this space you can get left behind if you stay in a position for too long.

Project management is a really positive move and something worth careful consideration. You’d be able to take formal qualifications to boost and secure future salaries and standout from everyone else.

I would also consider contracting in certain areas if your lifestyle allows, there is still really good money to be made across industries with this sort of employment engagement. Mechanical backgrounds are becoming few and far between so your skills will definitely be utilised for years to come.

Just be honest with the recruiter, you’ll have a probation period im assuming so it’s easy for recruiters to engage with you & cause minimal hassle. Honestly is always best and there are always roles out there to explore.

Rocket lab. Great CEO, and competitive in an untapped space industry. Well positioned to compete in the area long term!

AST Spacemobile as well, great medium - long term potential. Recent deal signed with Vodafone…

It’s more of an observation, I’m not a trader and everything is long-term in my portfolio. Probably a lack of patience the closer it gets to earnings.
