      Ahhe that's different. No gig's is Brexits fault but lower paid gigs are immigrations fault. HTH

        Maybe you just don't meet the requirements of the current marketplace....

          Good news (or bad news) for you - your title says "Brexit WAS a total disaster"
          Brexit hasn't happened yet. It hasn't started. All there has been is the referendum.

          Maybe once Brexit starts things will improve. Maybe once Brexit finishes things will improve.
          Who knows, who can tell. If I had crystal balls instead of golden ones, maybe I could see that far into the future.
          …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

              Ah, the pound collapses, it's Brexit wot dun it.

              All the economic data comes in good, Brexit hasn't happened yet.

              Seeing the PMI data is forward looking survey of business optimism, it appears all the business leaders believe Brexit, when it happens, will be a good thing.

                  I've never had so many calls and opportunities over the last 6 months, the IT market is hottest I've ever seen, Brexit or no Brexit.

                      Benched Jan-June 2016

                      Gig June-Sept 16

                      Gig (and at a very decent rate) Nov16 - to present. (End date is May17.)

                      Go figure.

                      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
