Good Luck - With What?



They do indeed, its called the "bottom line"

-explain?

-explain?

Earning good money in the public sector, given what arrangements / frameworks are going to be available to work through?

Or, do you know something I don't?

Depending on what you do it could be a possibility / opportunity, as long as they make it worth your while.

My point is £400 Private outside IR35 or £550 Public sector inside IR35 equate to same 'bottom line'. Private Sector 'Market Rates' will suffer as there will be an abundance of Contractors, unless you are very niche

The supply and demand principle is simple, how will the PS employers get resources? Permies ? not really the budget or appetite there at the mo. Contractors, smaller pool of resources = need to pay higher rates

there will be a lot of questions answered over the next few months but it will be interesting

PS will have to be an utter shambles before they start bending to supply and demand. It's public money they are spending so don't bend to market forces like private sector do. Look at the permie wages for example.

OK, now I have seen your companies road map, I say "Good Luck", just as before

You are not making any points just wishing me good luck? Either you are extremely friendly or not really getting it? Either way have a nice evening (me being nice as well)

OK, I will be blunt .

Depending on what you do, I believe your outlook on this is extremely optimistic at best.

I hope you have a nice evening, also.

Personally I am seeing this as an opportunity. Projects still need doing and public services still need to run.

Very true. In the midst of chaos there is also opportunity

Completely agree with this ultimately but I'm guessing there will be some hard work needed to find and use them. Working from home and trying to convince yourself you are a 'Janice', sticking yourself on Digital Specialists won't cut it IMO.
