Hello All
It's been a long time since I have been here. The last post I think was late June 2013, I think.
I have been reading the utterly "Depressing" thread and it is a bit upsetting. All the advice, which I read over there, is bloody relevant. I will just add that if you stop "looking" then you will never find what you are looking for.
Is there anyone out there who has or knows somebody with a long It developer contract? I mean genuine 12 months long or so.
For what I have witnessed, I signed a 6 months contract at the beginning of year, but it was stopped by the client at just under 4 months. My current 3 months contract was suddenly whittled down to end of December. I started in the middle of October. Is it just me or is everybody feeling the sob story "Your contract has been stopped due to commercial pressures beyond my control. Sorry"
Yes. I know contracting is gambling and that is how it goes. However, is there some body out there who can gives a light at the end of tunnel, who can give up hope? There is person is doing it and doing it well and successfully. Is there anybody, who can say that contracting is really working for them and they either have had four 3 month contracts renewals in succession or 2 renewals of a 6 months contract or even had that lucrative rare one year contract deal? Is there that person out there who is rosy dandy? (I am being satirical, but you know what I mean)
