Its a new financial yr people. Regardless of the parent in question telling us all there is to be a 10% cutback in contractors over the next yr, projects still need to be completed etc. I've had calls from agents re PWC, HSBC and Citi this week with good roles too. It's looking bouyant in Banking.

Sounds ominously like 2001. The first sign is a rate cut. The first one isn't so bad, shut your eyes and grit your teeth so to speak, but then comes the next cut and another one, and then swathes of contractors aren't renewed....
Hold on to your hats....I'm alright JackComment
