It's not all doom and gloom if you verticalise yourself. e.g. if you're a Java dev, maybe you're a Java dev with deep retail and logistics experience?
I'm finding that there's plenty of work out there for specialists, not so much for generic devs who just list a bunch of languages and platforms you've worked with.Comment

Got my contract through for the gig I have been offered. They are doing the usual set piece of trying to lump the IR35 liability onto my shoulders so have kicked back and asked for an amendment.
Keep my seat on the bench warm. I may still need itComment
