Biting The Bullet
I've seen plenty of DevOps / AWS jobs around the 70-85K mark up north, but I think for a BA position that's a solid salary indeed.- darsa

As you were, for now.
My client has also decided to do a u-turn and keep contractors working their OLC rather than a blanket ban and forced using PAYE, a small victory. I'm not too fussed about IR35, primarily because they decided to blanket ban initially to take no risks, there were no individual assessments. I've...- darsa

IR35 Pulled Out Of Finance Bill Until April 2021
The damage is already done, this should've been decided at the start of the year. My contract is until the last week of March and they were going to issue me with a PAYE contract next week to sign, unsure what will happen now. I have a feeling they're going to stick with PAYE rather than...- darsa

Contract Non Starter
That's the nature of the contracting market, I think you might just be paranoid. Perhaps ask your agency to hook you up with someone that works in the team for that end-client and have a chat with them on general things?

Old Contract / New Contract overlapping
Legal? No. People do it anyhow and I haven't heard of anyone getting sued for going MIA on their contract (I doubt it's worth their time and money). Though you'd definitely burn bridges and get a bad reputation. You're better off asking them if you can reduce your notice period or such.- darsa

Offered a Contract, is it worth considering?
As most people say stick with the 120k, it's a no-brainer. You'd be very crazy to dip your toes in the contracting market right now, you have an amazing salary and I wouldn't reconsider unless you were being offered much more (800 range). Always account for the extra benefits and the security a...- darsa

State of the Market
Not too sure on that what will happen post independence (though I think that's unlikely to happen). When I was searching a few weeks ago I've had 5 different contracts opportunities presented to me (mix of public/private sector) needing DevOps/Full Stack devs with cloud knowledge (AWS/Azure)...- darsa

State of the Market
I've found that the market is pretty good for DevOps contracts in the Central Belt area, my current contract is converting employees come start 2020 so had to find an alternative in the past few weeks.- darsa
