Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostAt the end of this month will have done 17 months at clientco. They've offered me another 3 monther.
Work is undemanding, work life balance simple, programme is like a slow motion car-crash that nobody seems to care about apart from me and one other contractor.
Permies are slothlike & contractor haters, but cannot even tie their shoelaces.
I am bored, plus minted. Warchest is sitting at at least 9-12 months, plus I fancy the summer off
Do I
a) Take it (and rake it in)
b) Jack it (and stick my feet up)
c) Extend for 4/5 weeks and take all of July/August off, offering to come back in Sept if they want me.
In all cases, the project is still going to hit the barrier.
d) Turn up to be told that the programme has been a failure and they have pulled the plug. The blue chip consultancy has been given notice to quit and another 150+ contractors are to be terminated, but they still want to extend me for other projects. So they've asked me to sign the contract, keep the equipment and then take July/August off and come back in Sept when they've got new budgets.
