I fully agree with this. On my current gig i have to fix the code offshorers did. but becuse they weren't onsite , they didn't understand the business fully etc etc.

I have to fix the code of the onshore on site consultants who know better than what the customer wants.

It wouldn't be so bad if what they wrote was just poor rather than overly complex and totally and utterly unfit for purpose

Hope it's 1000 CFH per day at least, three days in CH have cleaned me out!

Early days but starting to get some traction in applying, getting responses back from agents now rather than radio silence.

That may be the case in the coming months. Right now on a Monday morning it feels to me like someone fired almost all of the contract recruitment consultants in the country apart from, the government ones trying to recruit director level roles for £350pd in central london.
