It's a bit silly to put the whole PS in the same boat. Although generally true, i know of some PS clients that are rather flexible on rates, know what they want and are prepared to pay for it.

The panic is starting to rise and i'm getting an increased volume of calls for PS contracts on good rates, over the otherwise quiet time of the year.

This interestingly I am also seeing private sector clients trying to entice me out of public sector roles. The rates have not been shabby at all and I am already on a fair wedge.

I don't believe that's what is happening. I very much doubt they are trying to entice you out.

If you mean roles are appearing as usual and they are looking more attractive to you then fair enough.

No different to enticing bobs out of India. US and U.K. Corps will cherry pick the best and leave the dross for the outsourcers to manage. Sorry to break that to you.
