Just make sure you go for more money. Its all about the money.Originally posted by Bunk View PostTime for a change. My rationale for putting up with things being done badly - "I'm a contractor, I'm here to do my stuff properly and leave, I don't care what everyone else does" - only holds true for so long. It's been 18 months now and it's getting worse, not better. Some of the permies they've hired are appalling, really inexperienced. It's obvious they're trying to save money, most development is offshored and the quality there is terrible too. I'm their most senior developer so almost everything has to come through me because the others aren't capable of doing it without someone pointing them in the right direction. I have to bite my tongue to keep myself from saying "How the f*** do you not know this?".
Anyway, rant over. Short version - I've had enough.

More money would be nice but rate isn't the issue. Stupid people are only useful if you want to look good, not be good. You'll never get anything done surrounded by idiots.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostJust make sure you go for more money. Its all about the money.
