OK - newbie(ish) question coming up (not IR35 related!!!) but I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on the state of the UK contract market at the moment (or more to the point how it is likely to be later on in the year), in light of the credit crunch etc.
I am currently working as a permie tech consultant (AD/Exchange/SMS, i.e. infrastructure) and have been offered a contract that I am thinking of taking. Obviosuly I am aware that in general when any company decides to cutback, contractors are one of the first to go, and that contracting by its very nature is temporary etc etc - I just don't want to jump into a market that is going to dry up really soon.
Anyway, any comments much appreciated
Thanks
