I have never had longer than a six month contract and I don't see anything longer than six months being advertised. Before anyone chips in to highlight their 25 year outside of IR35 contract on £2,000 a day I am not saying it doesn't happen just quite unusual.Comment

When an agent says 3 months but maybe 2 years it means one of two things.
1) This is a big project, of at least a year but we ant to reserve the right to bin you off without argument if you're crap (yes I know they don't need to wait but it's just how client managers think).
2) We want a permietractor.See You Next TuesdayComment

I've never had an agent say "to be honest they'll have you for 3 months and bin you then", though it does of course happen.
Extensions aren't guaranteed. Full contract terms aren't guaranteed. You get danger money in exchange⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

And also a client should try and keep a contractor on his toes, too many are freeloading slackers.
Many contractors think they worth the money just for their skills and experience alone, but don't actually want to do any hard work that actually uses those skills in the contract itself.Comment

Originally posted by SussexSeagull View PostI don't really take much notice of end dates anymore. Might just be me but clients either run out of money or extend you.
Short contracts extend, long contracts get cut short. The only certainty you have is the day you've just worked, really. (and even then...)⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment
