But there will soon be a clients' market, and there Has been a contractors' market.
The former will have rates dictated to you, in the large part. And the latter one can freely negotiate.Comment

Having worked at BoA when they owned a large credit card issuer in the UK, I can tell you most of the contractors or rather permie tractors there, havent a clue about IR35.
I remember when the bank forced the introduction of a contractor timesheet sign in regime. Most of the permie tractors were ok with it and didnt grasp the wider implications it signalled the start of direction, supervision never mind control when their bums should be on the seat. (Trust me, you had to be there to appreciate this!)
The agency got a very small change to some mechanics of the system and the permie tractors were clapping like a load of sea lions being thrown a sprat in a zoo at theannouncement.
Of course BoA sold off that card company and the ethos might have been different in the London \ SE office.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment
