So I think its finally dawned on IPSE's management
Interesting thread. It does seem like the govt, who clearly hate small business, are trying to destroy the contracting sector. Therefore what could the future hold? 1. Most contractors go back perm meaning the contractors left are able to charge far higher rates compensating for the tax attack... -

Anyone actually got a role via Indian agencies?
Couldn't agree more there's no skills shortage...only a skill shortage at certain price points, just like there's a shortage of Bentleys at £15,000. The Indian firms jumping into the UK market are just driving down the market in my opinion. This is one of the drivers of my initial question as...- Macaco

Contracting in Basel

In London I could get 700/day but rent for a house big enough for the family (3 kids) and close enough to a good state school is extortionate so we've jumped ship and are looking at alternatives elsewhere. There might be...- Macaco
