State of the Market

[Antman]

Yeah I did because I was curious.



I do see now it says office closed over christmas as well which brings it up to 29 days + bank holidays. I guess thats a bit better than average but hardly best in class. My wife got 33 days plus bank holidays at her last job.

Their own document says average is 33.5 including bank so they're only 3.5 days above the average. I don't understand how someone could think 3.5 days above national average is best in class. I would probably use the term slightly above average rather then best in class.

Welcome to the world of start-up English, where things are never quite what they seem.

BA/QA.

congrats. what industry? im seeing the 100k roles perm go down to 80k (mid summer) and now its like 65k for a high level. Obviously negotiable. And im less affected, as moved from a mid summer role to a contract role at decent rates.

Not to say boo, but id be suprised if a QA resource got paid more than a lead developer. Though i do rate quality BA / QA so dont take that as a slight!

Thanks for the link.

Yeah nothing particularly WOW about it but 37 days is quite generous for the UK, I think 40 is more the norm in France.

33 + BH is very generous!

Those extra days are usually for xmas, they just dont tell you this.

FS. I didn’t land it via normal channels (nor is it the usual BA/QA role) but it was by recommendation , prior to that I was actually contemplating on a QA 80k perm role I was offered but wasn’t looking forward to it due to mortgage implications. You can say I got lucky.

Now that the Brexit stress is over, is it now safe to say that the market will be returning back to normal ?

Yes, now that the Brexit sideshow is “done”, I’m sure we’ll move seamlessly through the existential crisis that is coming with IR35 reform.

Something about a pandemic too.

[BigDataPro]

IR35 (in private sector) will not happen in 2021. What's your bet?

Yup back to normal 600 a day for everyone
