dozens? Try 7 in 4 years, 2 of them being at the same place.
I usually last between 11-18 months at every place I've contracted at....

I have worked with some programmers who seemed better at it than me. I am not sure whether that means I am good or not?!
I am not sure how to judge it

I guess it depends how long it takes for you to deliver something and whether or not you get better offers coming along? How long is a piece of string?Originally posted by eek View Post7 in 4 years

At current gig we started as 3 contractors, I am the only one left after 3 months. This contract is at the top end of rates outside London for my skill-set so I won't be moving unless contract finishes and there is no renewal..... I guess that says I am good, but that doesn't mean I walk around with that attitude or don't make other excuses (like the other 2 were really bad and I must be okish).Comment
