If you want to do some lucrative IT contracting in Europe check out Freelance HQ. It's a sort of Third Voice for IT contractors. It has reviews by contractors where they report hourly rates broken down by sector and country. If you want to know which O'Reilly books to buy they have level of demand for each skill (Visual Basic, SQL Server, Oracle, Access and C come out top). They currently have 284 agencies and 541 contracts on file. It also gives information about contractors' age and sex (almost all male, half of them are in their 30s). Germany seems to come out pretty well. And it's interesting that the biggest agencies suck ass, as they're often late on payments and judged to be dishonest.
