With the 91000 civil service job cuts in the making, when do you reckon we can expect to have a surge in contracts in the public sector?
I assume it's not going to be any time soon. So, like, in 12/24 months?

Public sector client has finally gone Inside (long story but the determination has changed) so I'm weighting up my options. Been there for a couple of years so a change would be nice, and leaving on the principle of keeping all my engagement Outside (rather than having a transition) feels good. That said, is it an act of self-harm to go? By the sounds of things I'd be hopping into another Inside contract anyway, and potentially leaving a nice easy gig to do so.
Thoughts welcomed. Did this happen to you, and what did you do?Comment

The "war for talent" is a load of old bollocks.

There may be no shortage of mediocre Java/C# developers but there are plenty of firms willing to pay well over £100k for top developers.
Most developers are mediocre.
