Triple boomed.This week has been the busiest for recruitment I've ever known...
£425/day outside IR35 3 month gig on a project I like the sound of.
£70k perm and £525/day via Umbrella inside IR35 (6 months) offers on the table too.
Still to speak to existing client re.: perm offer, but I really, really want to stay.
Which would you take? I'm leaning towards the outside role is the best bet to ride out the storm for the next 6 months.Comment

Originally posted by NowPermOutsideUK View PostThe mind simply boggles when I read with tears what has happened to the Uk contract market. I never in my life thought I would see developer roles at £120 a day inside even it is for a junior (and probably ambitious energetic person)
If this is the new normal then senior rates are also going to get hammered as well. That’s the scary part
What next? Unpaid interns as developers like they do in fashion?Comment

Two unrelated emails for different gigs offering £200/day this week
Wonder if it's fixed margin, either way they're going to get screwed by the type of applicant that accepts thatComment

Originally posted by uk contractor View PostWay too many right to work in the UK vistas issued for IT staff via fake government skills shortages lists....
A few choice snippets coming into effect in two weeks. And if you were hoping that the "going rate" provision (over and above the minimum salary requirement) might help, don't worry - everything related to IT is on the in-demand list, so the going rate doesn't apply!
Suspending the cap
17. As a first step towards reducing the burdens on employers and streamlining the sponsorship system, we will suspend the current cap on Tier 2 (General) visas (the current route for skilled workers), which will result in there being no limit on the numbers of skilled workers who can come to the UK. This change alone will reduce the end-to-end process for sponsoring skilled workers by up to four weeks, demonstrating the Government’s commitment to simplifying the immigration system for employers.
Abolishing the Resident Labour Market Test (RLMT)
20. Under the new Skilled Worker route there will be no requirement for employers to undertake a RLMT. This reform will remove at least four weeks from the end-to-end process for sponsoring skilled workers. However, sponsors must still be seeking to fill a genuine vacancy which meets the skill and salary thresholds of the new route. Roles cannot be created solely to facilitate immigration of a specific migrant to the UK.

Originally posted by fiisch View PostBeen using umbrella calculators for back-of-fag-packet estimates of take home for inside IR35, but well aware these calculators are usually sexed up. Any rough calculation I can use to compare "real" Inside IR35 Day Rate with a Perm Salary?
Rough calculation method:
400 a day is about 4000 a month net
500 a day is about 5000 a month net
600 a day is about 6000 a month net
I would never work inside IR35 i would rather go perm.
Ok perhaps i would for 1000+ a day..Last edited by Fraidycat; 17 December 2020, 20:14.Comment
