In London at least. Tech companies dislike the fact there aren't enough engineers to fill roles which has led to a few things. 1.
Permanent salaries on the increase that also has a trickle down effect on other related IT roles.
2. A healthy contracting market with rates steadily increasing despite IR35. Contractors are deciding what they'll be paid and are still be lapped up. Nothings worse then a late or undelivered project to your end clients. Maybe layoffs are a strategy in shaking this trend?
There's certainly a recession happening and or on the way but why should markets such as the UK be worried when roles in my company at least go unfilled for 6+ months at a time.
