High activity on the market?

Don't be too fussy if you need the money, that's my advice.

That has been NorthernLadyUK's motto for decades.

I've received a number of calls about NHS roles over the last few weeks - certainly more active than normal (based on the last couple of years).

Same here but I have now stopped answering calls. Their rates seem to have gone up a lot as well. For the first time the agent stopped me from saying "Sorry, I don't work public sector" and said, hang on before you say it, the rate is a good one! And to be fair it was decent - £400/day in the midlands. That's the first time I have been called about a public sector BI role paying a decent rate.....

Looks like they have some money to burn before all the NHS changes start (maybe)...

1. Joke rates for my specialism (£400/pd)

Entitled much?

That's 100k per year assuming two weeks off. I've seen better rates but not exactly a chicken feed by any stretch.

Would you like to qualify that statement with a few unimportant snippets of information ? What's your key skill ? Where (geographically) are all these 'jobs' that you're getting phoned about ?

Sorry forgot to mention. It is C sharp, .Net, investment banking. City of London.

I am a specialist so long term deals not guaranteed.

I hope you don't write C sharp on your CV ;o)

A friend once interviewed someone who said they had three years experience of "C hash".
