I'm casually looking for contract work at the moment, by that I mean I'm only persuing my ideal opportunities. I thought I'd share my my observations of the market at the moment as a uk - midlands based flash developer:

  • contract work is all but non-existant outside of london
  • more contracts listed at lower (bordering on absurd) rates
  • greater competition- manifested as fewer follow up calls on application


ok there are probably no surprises there, I was however starting to wonder if I'm being pessimistic or if this really is an accurate reflection of the industry at the moment. Certainly I get calls every day regarding permanent postitions, more perhaps than I ever did suggesting employers are working with tighter budgets?
