    Good Luck mate
    In the good days I demanded “prima nocta” with new staff members and £1000 a day

    Now, I’m happy to go down the docks for 1/2 a sixpence

      Yes I have had a look. I've done a bit of Azure stuff, and docker k8s, microservices and other such trendy things. I presume people are still hiring some contractors out there. I tell you what, no matter how bad things seem to be, being permie sucks even more in my experience.
