Rajen,

ABC/M is a niche area where demand for exprienced professionals is growing rapidly, especially within Banking and Financial services. There are a number of consultancy's specialising in the provision of services both to Financial Services, Commerce and Industry as well as in the Government and Public Sectors. More important than specific ABC systems skills such as SAS, Metify, Oros etc is the in depth ABC experience itself, what the key drivers are, and being able to communicate this to both technical staff, finance and the business leaders.

We have placed numerous ABC specialists in 2007 and the trend looks set to continue into 2008 and beyond and more and more companies realise the benefits of effective activity based management and these jobs will be on offer for both temporary and permanent resources. Typical rates for contractors are £300-550 per day and perm salaries anything from £45k up to £90k depending on the size of the organisation.

If you would like to discuss further, please do give us a call.

In 2005 I went into a retail business woth a friend with a view to build a small chain of stores. The business expansion did not go as per plan because of reluctance of my business partner.

I am planning to get back into banking (IT or Credit or Private Equity)preferably in Dubai, France or Germany. Any suggstions will be welcome. I can be contacted on vinod_batra@hotmail.com
