I think in many cases clients know it is going to be a tulip gig, hence they get a contractor in, as they know a permie will just up and leave.

Exactly what QH said. Contractors are often hired to take on the crap that permies don't want to touch. Or that permies don't have the experience/expertise to touch.
I'll throw another argument in there:
What if the rate is too good? What if you are being paid highly for your expertise/ability/experience that the current client values, but another client might not value or recognize?
Would you leave a crap contract then?Comment

Warchest was up to 9/10 months this time last year. 4 months on JSA, then 3 months on crap rate and its down to 3/4 now.
If I had 24 months then I'd be happy to leave any gig to be honest.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
