With being overqualified I can see that a PM would be worried about a contractor leaving early as soon as he gets a better offer.

Maybe they'll get a clue when IR35 changes roll in next April and they have to start putting more effort into distinguishing between project based contractors and permie cover contractors, if they want to attract the former without needing to increase rates to cover the cost of them operating inside IR35.
Plenty of opportunities for those schooled by Northern Lad to become IR35 gurus, offering their consultancy services to educate clients and agents similar to how some have specialised in GDPR consultancy. If the market for your skills is quiet or drying up, get some new skills.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Role now readvertised at a much lower rate.

Left my current gig - the work was lovely, the people made me feel like I was having a nervous breakdown
'Big names' aren't all they're cracked up to be, as is to often the case.
