I'm alright Jack -
I see no "depression". What I do see is lots of companies taking advantage of the situation to get rid of staff without sending shareholders running for cover though.Originally posted by BlasterBates View Post

"good" is a relative term*
also, 4 pages of jobs with 4 pages of people chasing them =
4 pages of jobs with 6 pages of people chasing them =
*That's not strictly true. "Better" is a relative term. But you know what I mean.Comment

I agree. I've had around 5 serious enquiries in the last couple of weeks, from the UK & the continent.
I would say business as usual however I believe the economic turn has actually driven up demand for my services."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I don't see any real change in my area, in fact it seems pretty healthy. Jobs are being advertised and although I'm not applying for them I'm getting called up about them after they've been advertised for a few days which means that they can't find people easily enough. I think most contractors in this area are staying put as long as possible, just in case.
In fact a very nice one came through the other day which fitted in with the current one which is only a 3 days a week thingie and this would have filled up the rest. The company sent through a 2 page overview of what was required and one part was 'KO Criteria.) Sadly I didn't have one of the points (SAN with DS8300) which kind of knocked it one the head but when I got back to them the actual proposal was 10 pages long!“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

I think we can probably discount half of them as being posted by the Barclays Capital imaginary job department.

My take is that the market is better and has more opportunites than this time last year.Comment

It might be a sign that the peanut-paid-monkeys who they hired at the recession start have now broken everything, and they are looking for people again who can tell the difference between a server and a screensaver.
