Did they bump loads of people out of the Edinburgh offices? I know they dropped rates.

[Torran]

Aye they have, quite a lot of disbanding of teams and shifting people about. A few of the senior tech managers have left. To be honest the contractors haven't been hit half as hard as the permies. Rates are down quite a bit, luckily there are others in Edinburgh paying well.

I'm 95% on to be starting again in an Edinburgh financial shortly, rate is down from the last time I was there but still OKish.

Despite being round most of the places in Scotland I have never seen a RBS job going or had a call regarding one.

Really? I'm suprised about that. I was down about 40% on my rate from a couple of years ago. Thankfully things have picked up a bit.

Filled it

But the guy liked me at Populo liked me so not a complete waste of time he's got other stuff coming up. Always find Edinburgh frustrating half the tech jobs never seem to get advertised all word of mouth.

Really? I wonder how I got into RBS a few months ago then? I must have had some RBS experience I never knew about.

Me too i must have worked for them in a previous life and put it on my CV without realising because they gave me a job!
