i had this client offering me a role however was not able to produce a contract in writing with a start date... they kept stringing me along till the last minute .... I in the meanwhile drove myself nuts unable to decide whether to accept extension at my current client... they kept saying they were waiting for signoff from someone senior who was on leave and the contract will be ready next monday and so on... turns out last day of my contract at current client and the M Fers ring me and say the project is canned...
I renewed eventually at current client and for 5 % more , so all good in the end.
Lesson learnt: With contract work, there will always be a margin of risk... nothing is more certain than that paid invoice landing in your business account.... everything else is a mirage.
