If you go back I'd have a look at getting European breakdown cover

For the Beemer or Suity?

The problem with selling information or advice is that wise people don't need it and stupid people won't take it.

I have come to realise that most of the time my clients were dumb when I got there and still dumb when I left. The only difference is that I had the pleasure of leaving site richer than I arrived, and knowing more.

Like a diamond in the rough, this post. POTD mate. For me, anyways.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to bobspud again

Take a breath Suity, clear your head, calm down and take one step at a time. Trying to be a super hero is not the way to a long and lucrative contracting career.

Spend more time thinking about invoices and less about trying to shake up the political structure in most clients.

Keep posting us updates, we all like a chuckle.

Hi AL, here's your stakeholders, you have 4 weeks to gather the requirements and write up the functional spec.

Constraints : No one will listen to you. People will carry on doing their own thing regardless. Any attempt to bring order will be shot down in flames. Any questions will be largely ignored. When we said we had baselined the high level requirements, we lied.

Best of luck!

Jeez, it's just one bad gig to the next. Why not go back to code monkeying? At least you (said you) could do it.

My gigs just get better and better. This one has been excellent and they are very happy. Funded exit beers at a cafe tomorrow. Good note from the programme director on my LinkedIn.

I keep telling you- most people cannot deliver. It's not easy you know- solving a problem at many levels of abstraction simultaneously. So don't feel disheartened at constant failure.
It was statistically the likely outcome.

More baseless facts. The previous 2 gigs have been very successful, I have parted on good terms and been repped up on Linked in by both PMs.

A 6m gig is by definition not a success is it?

When I was hiring, if I saw lots of 6m gigs on a CV it goes in the bin.

2y in a gig and you can start bigging yourself up

Why don't you man up and be the PM next time. That way you can blame the BA when it goes wrong.
