Had a call from an agency about a PS gig.
I'd rather wait until things are clearer on the IR35 thing before risking anything in the public sector, so told the agent as much and I wasn't interested. His response was that he'd enquire if it was in scope or not and if it wasn't, then I needn't worry about the changes coming in April.
I said I don't think it's that simple and would rather not take the risk for now. His response was that it is that simple - they'll work with the client and HMRC, there's some tests (presumable the online ones that aren't ready yet) and if they say the role is outside I'll be ok.
Forgive me if I don't share his optimistic view on all this.
