When the banks get together and decide to drop all contractors rates by 15% and we all have the "it's a free market" attitude then rates will always be on a downwards trend.

Surely this has already happened.

The irony is that it's IT folk that developed the technology to make this possible.

I doubt mitch will be out for long, one of the most clued up contractors on here and always has something to say.

Mind you he is a tester

Yeah, who wants to hire a tester? All they produce is bugs.

So are you suggesting the banks actually colluded to reduce contract rates?

That is a big allegation. Do you have any evidence, or is it just pure speculation?

I know for a fact that they did it, and no, I do not have any evidence, I do not tend to tape my conversations.
