    LOL... if that's what you want to think.

    Not so sure about the last sentence though. They most certainly aren't in the public sector. Definitely more outsides than when it originally hit but no where near what it was before. Many orgs will find they can live with the people they get in and will just plod on I reckon.

    I think the delay was a mistake in terms of "compliance" - I'm in contract (outside, with a bank) and while I'm not paying HUGE attention to the market I'm still getting outside roles sent over.

    Contrast that to last year, when I was looking for work in Feb/Mar and it seemed that the sky had collapsed!

    So, Option 2 I think. There's definitely going to be some damage, don't get me wrong, but I think clients are now positioned to be a lot more sensible about their decisions and are coming round to how to ensure their contractors are outside.

    Also, if WFH continues, that'll really take the sting out of Inside roles. Personally, for me, if I don't need to travel then even an inside role on an average rate is a far better prospect than permiedom
    Has anyone checked how the market is now with regards to the 'blanket' bans imposed last year? It seems that all the Banks took that approach. If they are now realizing that it was a mistake, maybe other markets will start to open up again. May take a couple of years to settle down though ....

    They're probably never going to know the true impact, as there are too many moving parts. IIRC, the OBR rated the estimates "very uncertain" and the pandemic essentially destroys any baseline. Nevertheless, as you say, it will be declared an overwhelming success and no one will GAF either way.
