In inside contracts try to go PAYE from the agency, not via umbrella if at all possible.
Also consider working two contracts at once. You can then give low priority to the rubbish inside IR35 contract and, if necessary, disappear. This is in extreme circumstances in which rule1 applies. You can give your 2 week notice, if necessary, and don't care in the slightest about the outcome for that client. The only exception to this if the client is large, nearby and you think you'll get repeat work, in which case you try to leave the project using the best route possible.
I have worked three contracts before, with one of them being random days and not full time. The other two were full time but easily achievable as one project was basic, with the other one being difficult and a major international project.
Look wider in life and remember that work isn't even in your top 5 priorities in life. You deserve better. Treat yourself nicely and get the role you deserve.
