Originally posted by SlipTheJab View PostPlenty 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.
Anyway, I digress, how did you build this network of yours SlipTheJab? I think that I really need to start something like your network, however not for my current job search, but for the one after it.Comment

Calls from these agencies are only going to increase, my current banking client is now looking to get all PM and BA roles through TCS who are unable to resource right candidates. But TCS have already committed to lower rates so they can't supply people at loss and after cheap contractors - nothing new in this except ALL new roles will go to them.
And I know from the calls that I have received at least two other banks have done same (at least partially).Comment

Originally posted by AndrewK View PostYes, but it takes time. I have 3 useless Indian out-source workers - I am amazed they know how to turn PC on. However in 2 weeks they will be responsible for critical trading system. What can go wrong…
The funniest thing was we decided we could at least use them to format reports.
The state when they had "finished" them was pretty terrible to be frank, everything misaligned, different fonts, sizes and colours the business would have laughed us out of town.
We realised why when we got the guy to share his screen and he was trying to size everything using the mouse, as he didn't realise you could set the column widths via a dialog box.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment
