Personally I've seen quite a few of up and downs in my market (UK contracting), this might be a bit longer than usual, but not a permanent situation.
An encouraging sign I'm seeing is that there's more permanent positions advertising higher salaries than in the past (maybe just the +20% of inflation from march 2020, but still!).
The market will change again... software is still eating the world, there will be shortage of SKILLED developers for the foreseeable future.
And even if I need to make 25% less of what I used to at the peak of pandemic hiring, it's not that bad really!
- mattmanser 3y agoI'm also seeing positive signs. 8 months ago all the usual recruiter spam emails I got disappeared. 3/4 months ago I started getting recruiter spam again, but at lower salaries than before, this month I'm starting to see decent salaries again in that spam. I've not tried myself, but the UK market looks like it's recovering to me.
- moneywoes 3y agomay i ask how you landed your first contracting role
- paolomaffei 3y agoHad a permanent role (mid weight) level before, applied for contracts. Nothing special!
