Contracting has been a very large component of the London market.

Developers have been contracting at £600+ per day, more than £120k per year income, for 15+ years.

It has historically been very easy to achieve that if you don’t mind working for a bank.

I don’t even think I’m in a bubble with these numbers. I know and have hired hundreds of contractors over the years.

I don't think you are either. It's funny but after hearing about the complete lack of protections for employment in the US, I think I may get better protections here as a contractor.
