I'm not, I'm just saying that's what I see on jobserve or get approached for. I haven't seen any roles that have looked for 80/20 backend frontend, they are all either 100% backend or looking for a 'fullstack' to do the lot, sadly. I would pounce if I did though.

Especially as you are now expected to be an expert in DevOps/Kubernetes etc and several SQL/NoSQL/message bus technologies as well.

There's also to say that so far most of my contracts have come from a small number of agents that know me pretty well.Comment

£550 - 600 a day down to £300 a day, within a year. Except back in 2001, £300 was worth almost what £550 is today!
On the other hand, I read that average pay is going up constantly, so there's that as wellComment

It reminds me of lap dances, a guy i used to know used to laugh that lap dances were constantly £20 everywhere and every year.
The last time i was in a lap dances place was 15 years ago, no idea how much one costs these days... but wouldnt be suprised if they are still £20.Comment
