I had several speculative...Last edited by rocktronAMP; 5 November 2025, 17:28.

ZOMG. Face to face interview, so 2019! Home assignment test, terrific. 13 positions, beautiful. So there are a lot of DotNet C# fake contractors out of there in London just waiting to be recruited immediately available off the bench. Whoot Whoot! You go girl Kate! YAY!
If you are desperate,...Last edited by rocktronAMP; 30 October 2025, 11:19.

Well I have seen one Black IT Director (Deutsche Bank 2001) and one Black Head of Engineering (Digital agency 2013) in a British company in my 27 year IT largely software engineering career to date.

So they want someone with advanced Kotlin and Java Spring Boot with front end knowledge to contract for the range £55,000 [ == 220 * 250pd ], £66,000 [ == 220 * 300pd ] - I don't live anywhere near Coventry to boot, but this client will get what they are prepared to pay for, if they find someone....

Perhaps reorder into relevance of client interest.
Read back-end staff engineer. List the versions. Java 25 (just released September 2025), 21 (previous LTS - long term release September 2023) or Java 8 (released 2013)
