    Its simple thermodynamics. Every niche turns to sh*t eventually. Its a matter of timing.

      Which is what it is really.
      If the viability of your commute depends on being able to expense travel and accommodation then it isn't really a commute.

        The trouble with Indian offshoring is that a lot of devs don't stick around coding (hard to find seniors) and trying to get into management and the best ones leave the country

          it's still a commute. Just one you cannot afford to do.
          Say for example if you live in Hull and get a cleaners job in Cornwall. That's still a commute, just unaffordable.

            I can cope with a commute but staying away from home during the week is unlikely with an Inside contract unless it is serious money or they are paying expenses.

                  Getting quite a few calls for Inside Roles. Usually for consultancy firms, with an end client in an undesirable industry, needing to be on-site. Yuck.

                  Big difference to this time last year when phone was ringing off the hook

                    You mean you don't fancy doing 4 days onsite with a pensions company in Slough with Karen from HR noting how many times you go to the toilet?
