Demand for IT workers is still strong in the financial services sector despite economic uncertainty sparked by the credit crunch, according to financial online recruitment company IT Jobs in the City.

The recruiter said there is steady demand for IT positions within commodities, with a greater than 50 per cent increase in advertised positions since October 2007.

Demand for quantitative analysts has also risen.

Adam Stokes, operations manager at IT Jobs in the City, said tech roles supporting risk management and sector compliance projects such as MiFID - which came into force in the UK back in November - are helping to keep techies in demand.

Over the last three months there has been little to no change in demand for positions within the middle office, securities, analyst developers, system support, web developers and IT workers with skills in Oracle and SAS, it added.

I need to change My Client. So things might have changed. ..

I think the difference between this 'crash' and the dotcom bubble burst of 2000ish is that back then, only a few companies were dipping their toes into e-commerce, and it was seen as an experiment which could be curtailed at any time (and it was).

This time round, most of the big players do a large percentage of their business online, some more so than bricks n mortar business, so if anythign they will be pushing the more revenue efficient side of their businesses. So while I'll not be ordering a new porsche, I do hope it means work will still be coming in.

I used to get emails from "online recruitment company IT Jobs in the City.". They were full of old, old jobs from Jobserve, CWjobs. Think I had to spam filter them in the end to stop their emails.

I would take their comments with a huge boulder of salt.
