Will UK day rates go up or down? PREDICTIONS + reasons?

[KentDogWalker]

ah well, 18 months contracting was enough to retire on...

Finance and public sector will take a big hit I imagine, other sectors (pharma e.g) will be Ok.
The market as a whole will shrink over time leading to lower rates (supply vs. demand).
It will help if your skills span industries...

So I can raise my rates

I would imagine there is going to be more work within the civil service given the larger local government now required.

Yep. It'll probably cost the country £350m per week.

I work for a US company (sadly in GBP not USD). So I can raise my rates without being more expensive from their point of view and/or become more competitive. OTOH the UK is a key market for them, and they aren't exactly doing well anyway.

Old news. MS were planning on this anyway.

Can't see why not.

Sources within Morgan Stanley say it has already begun the process of moving about 2,000 of its London-based investment banking staff to Dublin or Frankfurt. And it has a taskforce in place.

The jobs which would be moved from the UK would be in euro clearing but also other investment banking functions and senior management.

The American investment bank needs to avail of the passporting system which allows banks to offer financial services in all countries in the EU without having to establish a permanent base in that member state.

The president of Morgan Stanley, Colm Kelleher, told Bloomberg two days ago that Brexit would be “the most consequential thing that we’ve ever seen since the war”.
