Better than Chapter 10...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Originally posted by mem80 View PostAnyone saw recent Dave Chaplin's post on LinkedIn showing internal HMRC approach to IR35? 700+ contractors hired by HMRC last 2 years - 0 contractors stated as outside IR35. It shows the current approach to the IT contractors. and that's one of the reasons current contracting market is so dire. It also shows direction for the future -> if HMRC put all their contractors inside IR35, most other companies will try to do the same to limit risk of taxman visit. Is it end of contracting market as we know it?
So to answer your final question - any firm offering outside contracts with large end clients is probably lying...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I have to agree with the sentiment that the market is dead. Like COVID dead but much worse as there seems to be no end in sight.
I am begining to miss the agents calling me now it's that bad!Comment

This all sounds very familiar to me. I have only ever worked Outside roles since I started contracting and I get offered the role if I get to interview stage.
I've had two interviews in 3 weeks1st interview was with my previous client, they had to cut the rate and so didn't consider me after the interview. No call to discuss this rate cut until it was too late! 2nd interview was another outside role with a consultancy who had already approved me for a client, only for the client to turn around and ask for a completely different role!
Never been on the bench, so this is a very different experience for me too!
I would say the market has picked up, I've had two really good leads today both Outside IR35 and one is a previous client of mine! It's heating up

Seeing quite a lot of Telco roles around, which is annoying as I have zero experience in that areaComment

One of the reasons why I haven't bothered coming here for so long for fears of accusations of fraudulent behaviour.
Anyway, now finally in an OutsideIR35 role. And posting.Comment
