Getting into contracting

[eGu_Ryan]

Hi guys

So I'm playing with the idea of going into contracting. I feel like I'd be able to experience a lot more rather than stagnating (financially, and using knowledge-wise) in my current role.

I'm currently in a 2nd line IT role with the majority of my experience being in Windows Server, SQL, Disaster Recovery with a splash of Linux and Virtualization.

Has anyone got any tips on how to get my foot in the door? What I should consider before getting in to contracting?

Cheers

Is there a lot of call for 2nd line level experience in contracting?

Everything I see would be considered 3rd line or specialisation.
