So the FTSE wobbles a bit, goes down to 5800ish, but now it's back up to 6500. What's wrong with these bankers?!
Actually I think the contract market downturn has already started. Rates aren't great at the moment and there don't seem to be too many big projects around any more. Also every man and their dog seems to be contracting these days. Some newbies will be in for a shock if things go like '02/'03Cats are evil.Comment

Mmm interesting all my clients are IB's and at the moment I have been the busiest I have ever been and Im having to turn down clients, Ive got contracts in place till Jan 2009, and rates have gone up nicely, if I could physically do it I could have 3 clients on the go at the moment. Suppose it depends on area.Comment
