State of the Market

[eek]

Seems we are likely to lose 1 million businesses in the next four weeks.

Owners are having to put everything they personally have on the line. Up to 30% interest rates are putting off people from signing up to the Government's "rescue" packages.

Also told that even if they do agree they won't get any money for weeks.

Dovetails nicely with the Brexit project.

You couldn't make this stuff up

We seem to be moving in the same circles as someone else has just said the exact same thing.

It's a real shame

Seems that only the banks will be winners in all of this.

Its the same nonsense that happened in 2008. Government gives banks money for loans. Then they dont want to loan money. So it never gets distributed. They never learn.

It was said after the 2008 Crisis, that the government would have been better off giving every man , woman and child some money to spend. That way it gets out in to the economy, without the banks.

Donald Trump was smart enough to do exactly that. He is literally giving American people a cheque, with some money to spend.

It seems we are getting news from the same other site (my username there is probably obvious)...

and sorry to hear the news - I suspect my wife will have similar news about a colleague tomorrow.

In fairness, corporation tax, business rates, doctors, nurses, intensive care beds etc have all come down since the Tories came in.

You made your bed, now you can lie on it.

Except you can't

No, the lawyers will make a killing too. They always do.

I hear “tide” might have issues having so many small companies and giving them big overdrafts (with big fees) - now panicking as lots of there customers are going under

Awful bank anyway, all the warning signs have been there for over a year.

I had one call today about a remote role. Big consultancy firm. Good rate.

Sounded legit until he followed up with an email asking for permission to represent along with "two references".

two references - simples

- Mark Z at facebook
- Warren B at Berkshire Hathaway

done. They are so thick they probably wouldn't pick up on it

Well, here has been my experience.

1. Applied for 7 gigs - all last week, week ending 27 March, 2020
2. 2 came back with a positive response and interviews were scheduled.
3. For one role, I chased the recruiter who said he will follow up with another email to the client but haven't heard anything back. This was last Friday.
4. Another one, the recruiter came back with positive news last Thursday but on Tuesday came back and said that the role has been put on hold and will get back to me if it went Live (not, when it went Live)
5. Third one, there has been no response after I sent my CV to the recruiter. No response to the follow up email as well.
6. Fourth, the rate was low and inside IR35 and had to travel but I went with yeah sure. Now, the role has gone into a permanent role. :-(
7. The last one, applied for it but no response back from the agency.

There have literally been no new roles at all this week!
