Next year is the "crunch" year. Hold on to your hats.
Maybe Gordo will pull it off with his spending spree, and by March we'll be wondering what all the fuss was about.

I don't need to go back, I just was curious.
I'm not keen on a pay-cut though, trouble is things are unlikely to get better.

I was offered a contract in the city only today. Great rates too. Recession my arse.
And all I had to do was provide the agent with two contacts from previous gigs.
Hey wait a minute

The City doesn't exist any more, the pound has become worthless, and after the arrest of the opposition MP Damian Green even Zimbabwe refuses to trade with us.
Where were you chilling?

State of the market
I've been chilling for six months now, but may start looking in the new year. What's the market like for .NET in the City these days?
The news is all doom and gloom, but I'm no longer on the ground, so to speak, so it's difficult to translate that into job prospects (before I start looking).
Are rates off 10, 20%? And are companies hiring, or is it pretty horrible?Tags: None
