Happened in my last gig, I got rolled forward 3 times, 3 months a pop, then the managing director changed 10 months in and I was sent on my way - to be fair I was ready to move on so didn't mind.

Each engagement is different.
Some examples of ones I've had....
4x3months at one client - final extension was to bring a new junior permie up to speed and in effect manage myself out of the contract.
2x6 months at another - second six months was cut short after two of the months because of a change in project direction. Fortunately got two weeks to end the phase of the project tidily.
4x 3 months at another client - chose not to extend as it was getting towards a stage where I wasn't enjoying the work, project was coming to an end and I had another offer on the table.
Main thing is to be professional about it; you're now a professional consultancy company, not an employeee.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
