OP - If I were in your position I'd take the money. The project is not clearly defined and could end tomorrow.
I take the point about lots of short contracts but,IME, this is more of a problem for the agent. The agents don't like it because they know you won't milk it (keep the commission going). The clients love it because you go in, do what you say you'll do and then bugger off quietly. Saves them loads of money so (for you) it's all about how you sell it on your CV.+50 Xeno Geek Points
