Most big banks here in UK are doing blanket bans and the word of mouth is nearly 90% of contractors are accepting to go inside via Umbrella or PAYE so forth. So I doubt it would be dead in the office...Comment

Everyone else seems to be accepting the income cut and carrying on.
What are others seeing at clientcos ?
At my place, I started this recent gig of mine just less than four months ago - with a respectable large enterprise.
I think i'm in a similar boat to you. I'm only 1 of many who is quiting due to the blanket. Everyone here seemed to accept go inside via Brolly thus taking a cut.
I think to them, constant flow of income is far more important than anything else, and tbh, I don't really blame that much. Afterall, most of them are in their 40s who have a youngish family to run with hell of a lot of expenses. If I had an family and in need of constant income, I would probably act the same (unless I have a massive warchest built up - but as of yet I don't unfortunately).
And they say they require at least £100K perm job to compensate but they don't think they stand a chance of landing even a £50K+ salary of a perm job elsewhere Also, they not willing to change to a new environment (they've been there for over 10+ years). They are very loyal indeed. So fair dos. But sorry, I'm out.Comment

they are what we call "permitractors". I been chatting to many of them daily and constant questioned their decision. They always admit that themselves are not geniune contractors (in their own words). But yet, they are happy to be doing what they're doing.
So when I heard that, I concluded that: they acknowledged themselves are permietractors and they basically operate under this PSC model soley to gain a financial advantage.Comment
