State of the Market
I suspect there may be more roles appearing on the market after the budget is announced in March. This will provide the finalised detail as to how HMRC intend to roll out IR35 and give companies more clarity. This combined with finalising budgets for the new financial year may result in more...- LordAsriel

Agile Coach - What to put on Schedule?
Valid point. It may be that you do a level of 'Discovery' up front, with this SOW engagement completing upon completion of investigations around the as-is and production of a maturity assessment / roadmap for further maturity. With this knowledge, you may then be able to enter a delivery...- LordAsriel

Agile Coach - What to put on Schedule?
As a fellow agile coach, I'll add a little more specificity in the type of things I intend to be including in the deliverables section of SOW's I work under going forwards; - Completion of an Agile maturity assessment - Delivery of an agile maturity roadmap - Delivery of X number of agile...- LordAsriel

State of the Market
Final week of contract with current ClientCo who have made blanket no PSC decision. Market over the past few weeks for my skillset has been incredibly quiet. Only a few leads here and there, none amounting to anything. I have been seeing more roles in general begin to pop up that are Outside...- LordAsriel

Financial Services London - Are all us BA_PMs obsolete? What next?
DevOps roles seems to be one of the few that seems to be weathering the IR35 storm currently based on what I'm seeing out in the market.- LordAsriel

An agile coach within my network just secured a new outside gig in Bristol on an SOW based engagement. I've also seen signs on LinkedIn and other mediums of more outside roles cropping up, although still far less than inside roles.- LordAsriel

Interested to know people's plans for next 1-2 years
To my understanding from liaising with recruiters / umbrella companies when discussing potential recruiter roles in the past, yes. The difference is that I've always wanted to live and work abroad, so for such an opportunity I'd be open to taking a cut in take home for the experience of living...- LordAsriel

Interested to know people's plans for next 1-2 years
Current contract is finishing in two weeks time and the market is extremely dire. Although I have seen a few more outside IR35 roles being advertised, none for my skillset (Agile Coaching). Plan; 1. Sit on bench for 2-3 months whilst the IR35 dust settles and apply for outside IR35 jobs /...- LordAsriel

how much would you increase your day rate for inside?
Depends who is picking up the employers NIC liability and where the contract is based. If locally and employer is actually covering the employers NIC's, I'd probably ask for 15-20%. In this market however..- LordAsriel

State of the Market
Client procurement has in the last week determined that they won't be engaging PSC's and all contractors must be taxed via PAYE. This despite two sponsors within client co being keen to offer a new contract, and are open to outcome based. So demand for my skill set remains, but sponsors being...- LordAsriel
