It's worth saying that I never swear. If I do start swearing its because I'm very annoyed.... It's why I like masked versions, I can swear without most people noticing.....Originally posted by northernladuk View PostBlimey.

My personal experience monitoring (3 months) higher end of London C# dev (>650) - it is dead.Comment

You can still get that and above but you need either Algo/low-latency experience or WPF with Rx. It is competitive though, I'll give you that. I've just started a new contract and the rate is less than £ 600 for the first time in years. Better to be in work though.Originally posted by AndrewK View PostComment

Have both. Just market dead. Even in dead market you can find contract, just in good times you can get 2 offers in one day, in current market depends on your luck. In current project we have hiring freeze and project is only on "life support".Originally posted by oliverson View PostComment

What's the feeling now we are nearly two months since the Brexit reference vote?Originally posted by AndrewK View Post
It's been a horrid week. I think the state of the market is still tulip in September, because at the beginning I had 4 potential leads on Monday. By Friday they all fell away. Three were from recruitment agents but they fell through one essential requirement or the other. One of those leads came from Linked-In, but the project manager called off the meeting because they haven't decided the final architecture. He said that they might be able to solve their issue by configuring the Java enterprise server.
I could blame myself, because I deliberately restricted my CV for partial remote working at least in the Summer months. I had family stuff to look after. I also didn't want to be stuck coding ancient legacy software against Java 1.6, Apache Tomcat, Spring Framework 2, Struts. If you have no idea what I am talking about then Java 1.6 is almost 10 years old! I had had enough of it at my last client. They are stuck in the past mainly because of they sell software to a global household name that has this restrictive deployment environment. In contrast, the new funky kids are having great fun coding with Java 8 and playing in the sandpit with Amazon Web Services and Spring Boot and cloud services. In other words, I am holding out for something a bit modern as a software engineer.
Fingers crossed everybody!Comment

Plenty of Java dev roles around at the mo, especially in London. I've had to turn down roles, been going direct for a number of years now by sourcing work from my network so not sure how difficult trying to find a gig through an agent is these days though.Comment
