Works for HMRC doesn't it?

Stop baiting the troll, he must be getting hungry, or something, again

I think CUK has caused a drop in contractor productivity.

I've noticed over the years that CUK seems to get more interesting when more people are on the bench.

Coinversely, the more people in contract the more boring and slow CUK becomes.

FTFY

Maybe his vibrating butt plug is playing up again.

Its no good you lot being skilled in COBOL or PASCAL. The industry has moved on where as you are sitting there with your redundant skills and moaning that you are not getting that 600 pd gig anymore.

Really? Some of those skills are in high demand now which is why some of us get > 600 per day, just because of them One day everyone will move on and the skills that you have that people in the future will decry as redundant, will be in high demand.

This is very interesting. I have read that only a small minority of employers (mostly the NHS) bother to try and hire from other EU countries, Surely there must be many thousands of Bulgarians, latvians, Greeks and Romanians that would come to London at the drop of a hat to work in this area. So why the need to go outside the EU?

I believe there are 2 reasons, or at least 2 that I have observed. Firstly companies are using other EU IT bods but they're staying in their own country and working remotely and secondly, many of them now get a good salary for where they live so there is no reason for them to move.

So you're saying Suity and Psychocandy are the most interesting posters on CUK

[DodgyAgent]

Yep, we have an office in Poland, here at client co.

Are their employees well paid? Or are they in need of a "self enriching" scheme under the careful patronage of DA?

I've been hearing a number of times now that the Polish I.T. market is on fire with poaching being practiced to the extent it was in India 10 years ago. Given the people that have come up with this I have no doubt to believe it true.

Maybe the smart young Poles have decided there are better ways to live than being an underpaid slave living 10 to a slum in London. Good for them I say.
