I've boomed with my 3rd interview! The role is inside, so this will be a new experience, but at least it's 100% remote.
Ask if they apply or not, if they do apply and its a surprise to you, ask for a rate bump. There's two threads (at least) in the other part of the forum about it.
As for the difference between temp employee and contractor this (13.8% barely legal but may not be legal deduction from your date rate) is one shining example of a big difference that, surprisingly, not many people seem to know about in this thread.Comment

Reed (I think) tried to introduce the concept of enhanced pay which was PAYE with holiday pay included within the hourly rate but I don't think that got any traction...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

That isn't PAYE rate - it's missing holiday pay - which would add another 12.07% to employer costs.

I'm currently disappointed somehow by the market, even though it's not a new sensation for me. I'm optimistic that by the end of August or September, things will pick up. Several people from my circle are currently "on the bench" as well.
I reached out to someone on LinkedIn who has over 20 years of experience in front-end development since they are actively looking for their next contract. They mentioned that the market is decent, although the rates are somewhat lower. I may not be at the top tier yet, but hearing a more optimistic perspective is encouraging, even though that doesn't pay the bills.Last edited by andromedan; 16 August 2023, 22:07.Comment

Had a good chat with an agent yesterday who confirmed that the market isn't great but they're expecting it to pick up in Sept/Oct. Apparently there's been a lot of contract to perm conversions going on.Comment
