Has anyone found the recession/depression affecting contracting rates? I was surprised to have a recruiter recently suggest a bunch of candidates for £375/day
I saw this today[1], advertising for a pretty impressive list of skills for £175/day. I think the company were taking the piss. I've seen other things on stupid money over the last few weeks too.
Personally, I haven't seen any drop in the number of phone calls and emails that I'm getting. And I've just started another contract at 10% more than the previous one.
And, bizarrely, I'm getting lots of enquiries about running training courses. I guess that companies want to ensure they're getting the most out of their employees.
