      To be clear about the site, like everything else in life, you have to view it with the scepticism it deserves, a bit like all those stock market trading threads where we're meant to be in awe of someone who participated in a bubble.

      No, the website should be used just to get a feel of the direction of travel that potential end clients are pursuing, that is all. I know of a good few large financial services companies that are now mandating umbrella only, which is as people are saying on the site. Sure, there are plenty with an axe to grind, there are also plenty of permitractors who should probably have been on inside contracts a long time ago but have slipped through the net.

      One piece of anecdotal evidence I am seeing though is that I'm being contacted by more and more agencies about roles in the city for the MS .NET stack (& associated) dev roles which are paying £700-£800 per day via umbrella. Sure, that's for higher-end skills but it used to be that if you were getting £600+ you were doing well. I know, someone will be along in a minute to say they were on £1k+ per day outside - if so, I'll save you the bother, congratulations to you and your ego.

        It was a public sector gig so more like pulling up in a Ford Fiesta.
