How often do those kinds of clients actually go through with their rate cuts?
By which I mean:
(1) they ask the contractor to lower the rate
(2) contractor says no
(3) contract is terminated (or not renewed, when the original plan was to renew).
I'm sure lots of contractors bottle it and cut their rates when asked, but that doesn't count.Comment

Hold on to your hats....
Along with the permie offers.
It is not all bad though. I am in Fund Management and there are no such signs here.
Yet.Comment

2) then they leave
3) IB contracts normally pay enough that you'd never leave if you have a choice.
Once they have it in their mind it's pretty much done, like the Terminator...
Good times will come again....don't know when..until then grin and bear it.Comment
