    Does this have any details or are you just scare mongering. Anyone with a hole in their arse would know there are going to be cuts just looking at the figures posted recently.

    Please have something tangible to say before starting a rumour mill.

        It's going to be brutal out there, very few contracts.

          Buddy of mine, contract test manager for HBOS, mailed me while she was on the annoucement call.

                  Yep... Redundancies Galore

                  As one of those affected (permie), I was looking on here to see if contracting is still viable due to offshoring. I contracted, but gave it up in 2002 as getting contracts was difficult.

                  From what I've read its hard out there still (has been for a while now). Having C#, SQL Server, WCF and ASP.Net skills, how is the market looking? Flexibility on location/rate is a must I guess?

                    Yep, Bob's the big winner..

                    RBS - off shoring 300 contractor positions to India
                    Lloyds - off shoring 205 contractor positions to India

                    (news page on this site).

                    Competition for financial contracts just got (even more) fierce..
