Hi Rob -

Im an Englishman in Tenerife and I work in IT with a large tour company.

Wages are about 2/3'ds of that back in Blighty for specalised areas such as Oracle Apps etc. This drops to around half of the UK rate for experenced helpdesk / technician work.

Appts start at around €450PM, but I'm sure some of the other regulars will help on this.

IT work is very very hard to find. Even if you have a specalised skill you will find it difficult. I have downsized my carrer to get a job in IT.

Most specalists are recruited via the web. and most companies prefer the lower end of the IT spectrum applicants to already live here. I was lucky to hear of a position and had the advantage that I was already living here.

Hope this helps.
