State of the Market
Lucky to have found a new role after just 1 week on the bench (Outside again), but my rate is now £100 less than last time I worked at the client back in 2019!- 6128k

Very good point and they do apply, which is disconcerting. Will take the role for now until I find an Outside role.- 6128k

State of the Market
I've boomed with my 3rd interview! The role is inside, so this will be a new experience, but at least it's 100% remote. I would say the market has picked up, I've had two really good leads today both Outside IR35 and one is a previous client of mine! It's heating up :yay:- 6128k

State of the Market
This all sounds very familiar to me. I have only ever worked Outside roles since I started contracting and I get offered the role if I get to interview stage. I've had two interviews in 3 weeks :tumble: 1st interview was with my previous client, they had to cut the rate and so didn't consider...- 6128k

I have a very similar experience to you, with 3 weeks on the bench. In all my years of contracting I have never been on the bench, so this is a first for me.- 6128k

State of the Market
Back on the market from the end of this month after a couple of back to back contracts with clients who had contacted me. Will be reaching out to my network from next week, but it does feel different with fewer calls/messages.- 6128k

I am in a good outside ir35 role and still take calls to help inflate rates and do my bit.- 6128k

How did you do this year?
Worked throughout 2020 with some double client work that resulted in 264 days booked. Started to work out again and lost a stone in weight. With no commute required, I'm now able to work out regularly. Hopeful that I can continue the health trend this year and beyond.- 6128k

Asked to take a rate cut during contract
Current client applied a rate cut starting this month. I didn't counter because my contract ends in September and it wasn't a big cut. If there is an extension on offer I fully expect there to be further cuts. I know quite a few excellent contractor's who have had to take rate cuts. Up to...- 6128k

Anyone Worried?
Over the years I have worked with many 'contractors', some who acted sensibly and built up siezable warchests and others who simply squandered their money away. I would say a large majority fall into the latter category and live hand to mouth even with a substantial monthly take home. This...- 6128k
