      At the time I'm hearing companies considering closing their offices from October through to April and return to WFH to reduce their heating bills.

        JRM is going to be surprised at how few the government owns outside London.

        Hint the local DfE office is owned by the local council (they built it to stop the office being closed when the previous office was (finally) condemned
        merely at clientco for the entertainment

          HMRC famously sold all their buildings to a tax-dodging company based offshore.

            Surprisingly gone very quite in the Azure Solution Architect space. Post holiday slowdown or ominous signs of things to come?

              I am receiving noticeably fewer approaches for Scala roles.

                I'm still getting a few approaches on LinkedIn, some inside IR35 that I enjoy shooting down given I'm in a long term contract. On that subject, this is proving to be the best contract I've had in nearly 20 years of contracting. The work and the people are great. Very relaxed. It's 100% remote and outside IR35. Further, I invoice and receive payment in USD, which is currently very strong against GBP. I don't contract in London finance anymore, for obvious reasons, but this set of circumstances mean I'm on £50k+ more than I was on in London and without the hassle of staying away mid-week.

                    Next few weeks will be interesting to see if we get a productive window between the schools going back and things winding down for Christmas or not. I have about a month left on my current contract so beginning to take notice!
