Got a 6 month extension with a 4% day rate increase. I pushed for more but they were playing very, very hard ball. I suppose I can't complain given the current climate, even if it is effectively a pay cut once inflation is taken into account.

Originally posted by ensignia View PostI still have an Outside contract with proper SDS and this is with a global firm in Pharma with £30b+ revenue and 90,000 employees, I'm worried that the pressure will be too much and they'll just revert to Inside for an easy life, because it does seem like HMRC want to finish Outside determination contracts, especially if the doom merchants on here are to be believed.

Yes, this is a 2 year old story, but there are lessons to be learned for contractors who think GSK/Pfizer/etc know what they are doing when it comes to declaring a contract "outside"…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Although in the new regime, would the client or contractor be liable for retrospective penalties for past contracts incorrectly labelled as outside? Isn't that point of the IR35 reforms that it's the client's responsibility?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I don't think I will ever adjust to the swings in the market. I finished my last contract in October and didn't even get an interview or frankly any response in 2021. January comes round and I am beating them off with a stick and get a new contract and now I hear the marker is down again.Comment

Over the last past few weeks I have noticed fewer genuine roles posted, a rise in outside gigs at £150 to £200 below market rates and more non cynical CV harvesting non existent rolesComment
