Market is better than what I would expect for this time of year - remmeber this is early Feb - a lsow time for almost any Business.

That means - higher rates ahead !

Client where I started this week has 15 roles for Solutions Architect and 10 for Business Analysts.

On a side note- BA demand seems to have picked up.

LOL - I am serious they just told me and asked me to sit in on the Interviews for the Architects.

However - there Talent division are scouring Monster and all the main sites to approach them direct - NO Agencies - thats how they got me.

Good for them - thats what I say!

LOL - I had a feeling someone would say that.

No sorry, please don't take that the wrong way, I didn't mean to offend or upset, its just that a lot of us have had a lots of calls from agents, who have all promised to put us foward for roles, but nothing ever materialises from these calls, so its hard to say when an agent is putting you forward if the job, is the job real or not, does the role exisit in the first place?

Again, sorry, I was only asking for more info on your post.

Oh that's better (Sorry - I'm a female ginge - tempra"mental" and all that).

Well I'm in a gig at the minute, so I didn't ask to be put forward for any of them.
But they were for 3 real companies, who did all genuinely seem to be looking - real rates and real job specs for all (and I know someone who works for one of the companies and she vouched they were genuinely looking).
I just think you can tell when it's a real job.
I haven't had agents calling me for months - and now suddenly this week, 3 seemingly real jobs.

I know it's hard being on the bench (been there plenty), but chin up, it seems to be turning a little.

Newbie? I've been here since 2005, I will admit I've been a lurker for most of the time. Who am I? A benched contractor like the rest of us, trying to have a laugh in grim times.

I don't remeber being abusive.
