Just got 2 weeks notice

[eek]

You are entitled to your opinion and it could be right but still doesn't change my mind. Anyone working in a bank right now that is sitting there pretty thinking their job is 100% safe wants a dose of reality, whatever they do.

I'm not disagreeing just pointing out that some people may think and have a reason to think that they are better placed than others.

To be honest I'm not that concerned about my current contract. Plan B is progressing very well and gives me a whole new skillset I can use even if it fails (nosql, realtime BI, mapreduce and node.js). You have to look after number 1 and if that means crappy classic asp in your day job and everything else outside so be it.

dealing with users with primary school mentality.

That it in all, the work is no more difficult than anywhere else. Still when you're in you're in. Wish they stop phoning me cos I ain't going back for a while.

Been sat on my ass all week. I've had a renewal but the project I was back for has been outsourced as well.

Other projects in pipeline at clientco but presently not assigned to any.

Bored.

IR35 risk?

If BI reporting is moving offshore I would be very concerned that the rest of the BI workflow will rapidly follow and the quality of information reported will be to the standard you expect from Captain Bob. Of course it will be Milliseconds until the consequences are noticed by the local business but years before the C level staff realise its a mistake but ho hum.

FTFY

I'm sorry but I think you're talking out of your arse. Many people will be expecting things to go bad but you endeavour to escape to a safer department / project. Credit Risk Register reporting is something that most people would call a safe area because its BI which is currently done close to the end customer / user as it requires local Business knowledge that is hard to explain to outsourced resources.

You've obviously never heard of Infosys.

Just been told that the two new starters for next week will now not be joining and they are reviewing all contractors rates, contracts and projects.

Client has said 'Cost cutting. Don't worry MF, you won't be affected'
I said, 'Nah, I'm happy to go, do you want me to go,I'll go now'

Still here.

Fingers crossed.

You've obviously never heard of Infosys.

I've worked with them a few times. Fill yer boots if you're a contract tester at the users' end. Be careful though, clientco might go bust trying to implement Finacle, and leave you out of pocket, as happened to me. Important to know when to jump.
