Of course continuing as now would be much preferable but not going to unduly worry. Life's too short.Comment

Originally posted by PCTNN View PostIn the public sector, at first, roles went from outside to inside with no rate adjustment but after seeing they were not attracting any contractors and actually contractors were leaving, they eventually started to put the rate up for contracts inside.
Maybe the same is going to happen in the private sector too, or at least we can just hope so.Formerly Sausage Surprise but forgot password on account that had email address from old gigComment

The market is dismal for sure. I am in the position where the client I am at is not bothering to make a decision and is forcing everyone to go paye or leave. My gig finishes at the end of the year so have had an eye on the market now and there is little to nothing around, and for what there is the rates have tanked as they are taking advantage of an oversaturation of contractors in the market right now.
Bad times to be a contractor, I just hope it recovers.Comment

Why would a private sector client offer a determination that they’re not responsible for now, but could well be in 6 months time?See You Next TuesdayComment

Originally posted by CheeseSlice View PostSo that they can start as they intend to finish.. Im talking about the ones offering 3 months with likely renewal, or just 6 or 12 month contracts. Whilst they're not responsible for deciding yet they should be organising themselves as if they are, because they soon will be. Also if all parties entered a contract with clear intentions and common understanding, there will be no reason for either side to terminate prematurely.
Its up to individual contractors to assess their position and ensure they mitigate their own risk.Comment

I'm focusing on Permanent jobs. Ir35 has hit the market and sure it'll recover a bit, but in the back drop of brexit and a possible recession soon, I can't see clients paying the old day rates for gigs for a long, long time. I'm hedging a bet that the future will be mostly FTC's. Will try and go permie for 2-3 years and take it from there.Comment
