I use around 3 or 4 recruiters to get me new contracts and it's been surprisingly quiet over the last couple of months in what would normally be a pretty busy period. I've been looking for a 6 weeks now and i'd usually get a least an interview somewhere, but nothing. There was one role I went for which was validating a syndicate's capital model. It was working for the same managing agency as i'd worked previously and did two of they're syndicates. This was just for one. I did well there and got two extensions and I was about to get another longer one but then the budget fell through. I didn't even get an interview. I have heard some things about the company recently and when I looked at linkedin about my ex colleagues, none of the senior ones I dealt with were still there. Maybe I dodged a bullet.
Anyway, this morning i've been offered another month extension so have accepted. Just need to get the paperwork through. If I manage to stay till July i'll get a £3k bonus for doing the virtually nothing towards a huge project the company has been working on.
I like it here, but can earn more elsewhere if the right role comes along. At least that's another decent wack in my pension.
