I finished in May, however only started looking last month, had a few remote interviews that go really well, you get the "we'll be in touch to set up another call" , however then hear nothing. You know the type.
Seeing lots of FTC stuff that is being listed as contract in the listings.
Now looking at remote work in the EU, but not hopeful.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

The market is dire and it's not going to improve as the April 2021 IR35 changes and the supply side of labour in the current market mean you may as well recruit permies.
If you want to remain a contractor you need to work out how to package what you do in a way that you can sell it to people as a fixed price piece of work...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Saying the rates are trending downward is your best contribution ever (can’t see anymore)
No one knew this (except every single contractor on the planet)
Laugh - can’t wait for your next one
