They used to have 3 rules - 2 year, 3 year and 10 year.
I knew a couple who got to 6 years. One guy got to 10 years. But even he did not make it beyond 10.Comment

No wonder Hector wants to tax you all like the disguised permies that you are. 25 years???? Hell, even 5 years???? Continuous, in the same place? AYSYCOTBAC?
I've never had a contract last longer than 12 months (and I have been offered extensions beyond that, but refused them on general principal - even if it meant going on the bench) and most are either 3 or 6 months (with a possible single extension).Comment

However, I don't understand the refusing an extension on "general principle", banking programs can last a lot longer than 12 months.
Duration, certainly, doesn't make you a permie tractor, as once a regulatory program has delivered, for example, there will never be an interest in retaining the headcount, as the budget will have been depleted.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment
