Longer term, the bigger problem (as raised in the other area of the forum) for inside-IR35 contracts is the insistence on being paid via means that land-locks you into the U.K (FCSA accredited umbrella).
Anyone would think that this was an intended consequence but I don't think the treasury are that clever.Comment

I had my first ever online interview today. First time I am back on the market since Covid.
Having three strangers sit silently and watch me code over Zoom was not pleasant.
Saying it was anxiety inducing was an understatement, and i suffer from bad anxiety on most days (hence my fraidycat name).
The coding problem was not even that hard, medium difficulty, I was just not used to people watching me make minor mistakes as I eventually get to the correct solution.
Writing that interview off from my mind. But hopeful i might get offered a role i went for earlier this week, that client gave me an option of zoom or in office, and i chose to attend their offices, where it was old fashioned white board rather than perfect coding on screen.Last edited by Fraidycat; 17 February 2023, 09:31.Comment

For the first time in my career I have been offered a role without being interviewed. The agent said the client wanted to offer me the role because "they've heard of me".
Does this mean I finally made it?Comment

There is no indication that the whole banking sector is going the Inside IR35 route. Why would they change now?

Hence not hopeful.
Would have preferred to do the test at the end, not the start.
Also the test was sold to me by the agent as a 'pair programming session', it wasn't, it was a straight test with 3 people watching me do it.Comment
