Re: [OT] Impact of covid19 on devs

I had one client who cut their billable time with me by 75% (fitness
industry), and another who will probably do much the same later this month
(agriculture sector). Both want to return to normal as soon as they can, so
the overall impact will hopefully be minimal.

 Hi,

 I was working as a contractor for an Oil company,  they had to remove
 all contractors.  I've been partially laid off, I am still employed by my
 company but the Government is paying my salary.
 I'm being forced to do online training while they look for work for
 me.  I was planning to change jobs, but there is zero market out there at
 the moment. All the usual head hunters have gone quiet.

 Davy.

 Hi folks,

 I’m curious to hear how these lockdowns and such have affected the dev
 market. Any thoughts and experiences to share?

We're looking for senior fullstack devs, senior pms, bas, biztalk
resources. If you know of anyone please drop me a line. We have perm and
long term contracting roles.
