In my area reg/risk, day rate improved in the past few years, however, with the inflation and all the extra taxes imposed, I feel am definitely financially not better off. However, the most concerning phenomena am seeing is the alarming increase in work load per contractor, in the past for each project you'd see a lot more contractors each dealing with a specific area in the program, now am seeing a lot of clients advertising for what they cal; 'hybrid' role where one contractor is expected to perform the tasks expected of 3 or 4 employees... my recent role which I just finished expected me to do everything, and am not talking about a small company who couldn't contract a extra staff, its a very big very rich bank boasting to have the highest number of billionaires as their clients, the amount of work expected of one contractor is diabolical everyone was working so much extra ... alas I told them I can not renew my contract, I am burnt out.
I accepted a role at a lower rate, on the hope it would be a reasonable amount of work, if it turned out to be as bad as my previous one, I promised myself to walk out.... Hybrid role: Slave role !!
