This sounds like an encouraging new trend.

You can't help idiots being idiots.....

And banking is a dying sector as many companies are cutting back and offshoring even more....

Market is good. I know of places that are refusing to hire contactors but are struggling to get any permies, they will eventually break at somepoint. One in particular can't fill 100 roles.

Is the market booming?

I am getting one or two emails a day about java dev roles, when until the last couple of years I've struggled to be considered for such roles outside of interfacing with certain niche software. Most of them are coming from agencies I haven't gone through before (although may have applied) so they must be using well out of date CVs from 2008 or so. Is this just the keyword search gone crazy or are they struggling to fill vacancies? This is definitely quite a new deluge of emails.
