is the IT market dead in the water?

Job market seems to have gone quiet but only a few weeks ago it was booming. So can't say it's dead, just a lull. Don't know about Python as I work in Testing.

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

WTF?

Python (PySpark, Databricks, Synapse Analytics) is in huge demand. Getting constantly called and emailed about doing contracts involving Python and with very healthy Outside IR35 day rates. I have not been on the bench for one minute in the last 4 years. Getting a bit sick of it to be honest.

Jesus walks into a Bed and Breakfast, puts 3 nails on the counter and says


"Can you put me up for the night?"

Orthodox. They're always behind the times..

I logged off old client at 1635 and at 1700 received a call from a new client offering me the next gig. If that's dead then I must be Jesus.

You're a week late LM ... wasn't you supposed to rise from the dead last Sunday?

That's why you learn Java but have industry vertical niches where you can bring expertise.

There are lots of crappy Java devs; there are less Java devs that know Azure and understand retail or insurance end-to-end processes.

Time to learn Java mate.

Learn Azure or AWS, Data Science or Cyber security. Less competition.

Then you get compete for roles with the hundreds of thousands of other Java devs out there.
