I'm really interested to see how you all feel this will pan out.
Immediate term / med term / long term.
For rates, projects, ways of working, agencies, investigations ...
For what it's worth I'm thinking:
I can't help feeling that ultimately everything just comes back around and that market forces find their level in the end.
Anyone who really wants to engage B2B will find a way / find engaged clients after some short term pain. Everyone else will go in or permie. Loads of movement of contractors between roles & maybe nearer home. May not be a bad thing - I might go nearer home myself and be happier on less money sleeping in my own bed.
Low rates for a bit then rising as projects and systems fail and companies realise most of their permies are pretty useless & that those contractors who agreed to stay as "in" are really disgruntled and nervous and not at all happy with their bank statements. Agencies trying to flog add-ons to make up lost revenue. The revenue chilling out for a bit then going after out > in's.
