Just to say it wasn't for either of the banks mentioned.

Good luck those of you who are struggling though - it's no fun being on the bench.

It's my one annoyance about contracting: when you have most time to do something interesting, you're least inclined to spend money.

deader than dead, even the perm market for me is a tad on the slow side

first time i've ever had to actively look, normally someone rings me with the next gig, just before I'm finishing.

Sods law i had to take a few months off before impending financial market doom!

Contract extension, but -6%.

I've just got a contract extension, but +6%. You've made me feel guilty now, so I'll send it to you.

Mind you it's not 6% of a lot, going by what people on here say they are earning.

If it was for Barclays Capital, its not counted.

They churn out so many job specs, they are destroying the rainforests

barcap have a complete freeze on all IT recruitment at the moment

Crises ? What Crises ??

Bigger and Better - thats my motto for 2009.

And for you - Devil take the Hindermost.

There you have it.
