    The collective LinkedIn pre-Christmas meltdown of people looking for work has started. To a point I am sympathetic but I am not sure it does them any good actually finding a role.

          The knock on effects from the Budget (higher bond interest rates) seemed to have slowed the IT job market again, at least compared to September and October when there was a moderate bounce in the market on the back of the first interest rate cut by the BOE in August.

          2 year gilts were 3.5% in August now 4.4%

              As someone who's source of work is largely a well maintained LI network what else would you suggest they do? Words are cheap when it's not your bum on the bench.

                Have the rates reached a new low? Contracts that used to be £700 pd (outside) now advertised for £300 inside.

                  Does every response you make have to be argumentative and combative?

                  You know, if you've nothing useful to say, probably best saying nothing.

                    be best if you and your whining tory chums would stop wingeing about how unfair the world is to them.
