Contractor market is falling apart.

If you were getting £800pd for something an Indian outsource person can do, that was the crazy thing. Generic developer roles paying >£500pd is insane.

The market it's saturated.
The indian agencies are the ones who offering less.

Not the towns you would want to live in though!

You could buy a nice village. Or buy a grotty town and develop it

Funny, I have done consistently well for 16 years, here...

It was still an ok rate, just lower than other work up here (North). But then take out T&S too.

Well I guess someone has to, it being a city of about 10 million people....

Worst rate I have had since 2011 was London. Couldn't get anything else so needs had to.

I have only just hooked myself onto the Northern gravy train™ - a remarkable turnaround between Laaaadon rates and Manchester - as contractors we have to follow the money!

Think Leicester and Bradford. Lots of willing tenants to keep you in luxury.

Jeez, you could buy up whole towns with that sort of money and retire aged 30.
