Rumours of the Death of contracting have been greatly exaggerated :)

2 weeks into my contract search I have two firm offers on the table and I am now in a process of batting them back trying to eek out a better rate/conditions.

Even with the Xmas dip looming and the fact that I am quite restricted on location (young family) I found the Market quite buoyant (SQL Server Dev/DBA) .

Obviously your mileage may vary but it’s not all doom and gloom!

I'm in same tech field and was benched for 2 wks but as is typical soon as I started current one a month ago, I've had half a dozen pimps and clients from linkedin asking about availability.

Up and down, swings and roundabouts, in to go out.

Good for you. I find the market lively enough, but lots of comedy rates and tyre kickers.

This message is hidden because eek is on your ignore list.

No that's probably your current market value. While we aim for higher rates (or in my case explicit partner status on government tenders) you are still a bum on a seat going backwards as more people enter your market...
