It's not gonna look good on mine when they see I sacked it in within 3 months

As long as you come up with a good reason why you left.

Personally just don't take the extension.

I only lasted 3 months with mine, it was my first IB contract at the time.
It has never put any of the others off.

In fact I threatened to walk after a week, the only contract I have ever done this.
I refused the extension offered after 3 months.

I'm leaving it half way through, I had to. It's a 6 month contract and actually the first version that came through had a 'contractor may not give notice' clause written into it. I should have heard the alarm bells at that point.

No, you should have dealt with it there and then. Nothing to do with alarm bells. It's not uncommon for this to be in contracts nowadays.. Oddly enough it's in there due to contractors leaving mid way through... Funny that innit.....

Thing is if it's in a contract you automatically think the client is a poor/bad one.

So it's a catch 22.

you can see and overhear them bullying their staff as they don't always speak in Hindi.

Sometimes you don't see it but there is a pecking order for sure. Recent experience with India lived up to expectations. Don't even think about it.

There most certainly is, often related to the caste system.

Caste systems - there's more than one.

Don't!

1. They will kill you by making you produce too many useless reports
2. Because they don't have a clue on what they or client need
3. Expect you to train their "shadow" resource sitting in Pune which they have offered free of charge to the client
4. So that they can kick you out in the middle of the project as soon as "shadow" can do your job using your ideas
5. They don't know how to talk to a professional contractor, let alone treat them.
5. They always think you are their permie resource.
