Has anyone seen the UK contract market rates in a bad state? Despite roaring inflation, rates are deflating.<p>Looking at Java as an example: https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/contracts/uk/java.do average rates a going down now for some reason.<p>We were hiring recently and loads of poor-quality engineers showed up and our rates are at the higher end of the scale. Almost like the good engineers have left the market or were hoovered up.
yes. Same story in the DevOps market. Rates hasn't move for the past several years . Looks like people trying to compensate by not working very hard or taking second contract alongside the main.
