TBH I have only ever got to the two year mark in a contract once and with hindsight I should have gone on to something new much earlier as it wasn't a great contract technology wise and I went a bit stale professionally speaking.
Plus of course you can't claim for expenses anymore.Comment

I have in the past, but current contract has been going for 2 and a half years and im on the same rate as when I started. Im happy with my rate and the work is fully remote, also the market is very bad so not eager to rock the boat. Best time to get a rate bump is on your next role.Comment
