State of the Market

I saw a job advertised yesterday for an Access/Excel Developer £16-£20 p/h, directly underneath it a dump truck driver £16 p/h... nice to be valued

If I was a dump truck driver I would feel quite insulted that I'm only being offered similar money to an Access/Excel developer

I'd say the comparison is particularly pertinent.

Both typically involve taking something and dumping it somewhere else

I couldn't help but laugh at this. It is true of how the market is going with pay however some agents are chancers.

I have 2 agents call me up for the same role. One offered £340 a day and the other £550 a day. I laughed at the £340 guy as the skill set was extremely Niche.

They are probably thinking that normally contracts are roughly double perm pay, so they now offer 50% of contract rate as it's inside / perm ?

I doubt that this is anything to do with making their life easier. More likely is that the role is already considered inside IR35 and will be publicly stated as such come the cut-over. You'd be best to assume that all roles are inside from now on and take a chance on those that look to be more "outside" than the others.

For those intending to jump ship because of IR35 this will give you an idea of how the market is
