Which websites for contract roles these days?
Looks like I'm going to be searching for a new role next week after 5 years of renewals at one of the banks. This makes me pretty rusty at searching. What's the best way to go about looking for new roles these days? Any recommendations for good agencies and websites to use? Cheers, Barry.- Nitrox

And, anyway, with the current market state, could...- Nitrox

15% cut rate for all contractors at Goldman Sachs
Yeah, I got that fun Xmas news today too. To be honest it looks like market rates are down 15% on when I started my contract anyway so there's not a lot to be gained by moving elsewhere and, according to my agent at least, it ain't pretty out there at the moment. I'd say it's the price of being...- Nitrox
