I'm personally experiencing it myself now. Went for a £100k perm job and the recruiter politely laughed in my face. He looked at my LinkedIn profile as we were speaking and within a few seconds would have worked out it was likely a big drop from my day rate.
My only response is this is something I have thought about since 2020 and I've actively taken some steps and spent quite a lot of money to move towards a perm role. 80% of the time the recruiter still isn't convinced. For others, I think one of the only reasonable arguments is the market has so fundamentally changed that contracting isn't feasible from a risk/reward perspective.
