The recession's over!

[Mich the Tester]

Is there much of a market for experienced testers who don't speak Dutch?

Hmmm, not much yet but I've seen a few vacancies, especially for people with commercial banking and trading experience; credit risk testers are being hired again too.

The market in Holland for experienced testers has improved markedly in the last month or so. Rates are not yet at 2007 levels, but improving again. Still, government agencies select primarily on rate (plenty cheapness), but banks and other financials are starting to select on quality again and pay a decent rate.

Time for a rate rise then

There's bound to be a catch. I won't believe it until I read what Ambrose Evans-Pritchard has to say.

I hope for the sake of his health, they're keeping this news from Ambrose. Could be too much of a shock.

Very hard to predict anything in this recession/slump/depression/slow boom. It's almost as though every figure has been doctored.
