Has Billy Jenkins from MA Associates stopped posting rubbish then?

Just did a search for PM roles - there seems to be a bit out there..... if they are legit

One J Sanderson of Re(pro)gressive seems to be one of the worst for fishing trips!

Surely all his roles are genuine?

"Within the first week of contact with Billy Jenkins, he was not only able to find me several interviews for prospective jobs, but also provide me with advice on the best job opportunites in the current market, and land me my ideal job. Highly recommended."

"I worked with Billy Jenkins. He was very helpful and acted very quickly. He contacted me regularly to liaise regarding suggested roles and interview details. Billy made me feel like I was receiving personal attention, that I wasn't just another candidate."

Same here

Yes I think at present the higher rated jobs are dissapearing

I mean if you are going to pay a PM £500 per day for a 6 month contract that means even before any other costs you need to find £60,000 - which is a lot of money! - especially if the ROI is low or not expected to be realised in the current financial year.

so they either have an internal PM, get a cheaper PM or shelve the project
and if the project is shelved then all other disciplines will suffer as there will be no need for contract coders, testers, trainers etc etc etc.

I reckon to see things through you need to take what you can get, tighten the belt and wait for the market to pick up.

I could be wrong I suppose

I have just been extended - but rather than be PAYE (as I was - long story don't ask!) I now will go down ltd route - the rate is low compared to other jobs on job boards (which may or may not exist) but it still works out at about £45k per year which I suppose ain't bad.

Be aware thatyou will still have to go PAYE with your limited, since you can't simply suddenly claim you are IR35 exempt on the same contract you were once PAYE on. You can try, but I'll be sure to send you a cake with a file in it.
