Market in Scotland….

[Sausage Surprise]

I used to work for a consultancy in Scotland, so have got to know a couple of Scottish contractors.

It appears that a large Indian consultancy (of the same name that has bought Jaguar) is doing testing at considerably cheaper rates for the RBS, NAG amongst at least one other major Scottish company. This is bound to be pushing rates and positions down.

Just wondering how things are from those on the ground? Living close to Manchester Airport I have good links by train, plane and automobile to Glasgow, hence was thinking about Scotland as an exit route from Permiedom.

Having said that, last time I looked rates were around the £220 mark for what I am getting over 50% over that here in the North West.

Appears that the Scots may be pushed out of their own country, or have to go permie…..

Bollocks...the overseas testers are tulipe. Mate has just walked back into another contract at RBS in Edinburgh after a 6 month gig elsewhere.

Yet another co-incidence: One of my clients in Denmark tried cheap testers, and now they're flying in UK contractors, also some Aus and Kiwis.
