From my experience in the last 2 months, companies are scaling back their IT projects now. Got several contracts that were supposed to start later this year and they were canceled.
So there will be more competition for less bread. But you can try.
- stevehawk 7y agoCounter to that, a lot of companies are scaling up their web/mobile presence and offerings because they can't let their customers into the building. I'm a contract programmer and business is arguably booming.
- chuck3201 7y agoI'm also a contract programmer and looking at job sites the work is completely drying up. There are still a few contracts going but its a small fraction of what was available 2 months ago. What makes you say that business is booming?
- tomlagier 7y agoWhat market segments are you seeing this in?
- stevehawk 7y agoI mostly operate in the banking industry right now.
- tomlagier 7y agoGood to know. Feels like a strong place to be. I'm just starting out and most of my contacts are in advertising in one shape or another, which hasn't been nearly as active. I wonder if the best way to get started in a niche is to just start cold-emailing with a service.
