Sure this should be a listed medical condition!
Sure you've all been there. Couple of extensions down the line, rate is ok, client is ok, warchest building up nicely, work getting a bit same-ish.
You're thinking, shall I accept this next extension and sit tight or shall I bail and look for something else closer to home/more money etc.
Been offered 2nd extensions where I am (taking me up to a year). Decent client, decent enough work. Mid range rate, bit of a trek every day (at my daily limit), no WFH allowed ever, work ok but bit sameish. But sort of client who you know is going to extend and extend until the cows come home.
At the back of the mind Im thinking, hmmm, might get a different gig, close to home, more money, couple of days WFH even, something exciting.
Then again, my other mind is thinking, bail from this one, spend months on the bench then be forced to take a tulipe rate because Im skint!
Maybe I'll stick it out until winter. Travelling lot easier (I do train mostly) when its not pissing down and pitch black.....
(expect NLUK will be along soon to tell me to man up and accuse me of not being able to make a decision!).
