Benched 4 Weeks now and not a single interview

Non UK roles

Non UK roles a better bet.

PZZ

All non UK roles that I have seen in the last 6 months require a local
language. I speak French Dutch and German but not at IT level.
I have only had a few weeks work in Belgium and UK this year only
If you are single the Middle East maybe ok.

I believe more bad new is on the way in a couple of years time.

The 20th Century had to 2 World wars and the 21st Century will have 2
World recessions.

2009-2010 The great Banking recession.

2021-2023 The great manufacturing recession
All European companies with plants in China and the rest of Asia
will go close to bankruptcy when the oil price reaches 300 dollars.
The world is running out of oil so the price must go up.
The fact that labour cost £1 an hour in China will become
only a fraction of the cost of goods sold. Shipping goods from
China will then become higher than the European labour costs.
Locally made products will become more profitable after 2020.
Those multinational companies with plants in asia will not be able to transfer
their manufacturing back to Europe in the short term.

Not to sure the world is going to run out of oil anytime soon. Your theory also negates that the intellect of mankind will have a replacement energy source in place before then.

Im retiring next year so none of this will have an impact on me.

It might impact your pension.

I am sure that the world will run out of commercial oil before 2045.
After 2045 oil will only be available for government purposes like war
planes and private cars for the members of parlement.

The replacement energy strategy is long term but todays business leaders are short term chasing this years bonuses.

To quote: Iraq's reserve to production ratio is 158 years.

Looks like you need to learn Arabic.

Nah, you'll still be with us. Still cursing about Gordon Brown and IR35 to your Great Grandchildren. I know I will.
