Withdraw from a contract
I'm in the same position as the original poster, but my notice is 3 months. I haven't started however and still have 2 weeks until official start date. But have signed and sent over my signature, start date, etc. I guess it's too late to pull out now, even though I've found something a bit...- nicholas22

Reasons for shorter rolling contract negotiation
I agree. The contract I have seen seems to have various weasel terms around screwing me over even further. For example having all kinds of descretionary terms as to why the client might be unhappy about the quality and how I am liable to fix it in my own time (unpaid). Given they have shown to...- nicholas22

Reasons for shorter rolling contract negotiation
It says 30 days either side. Some exceptional cases I havent really seen before like termination without notice if client is unhappy or change of their circumstances. Not giving me a lot of confidence if I am honest. :frown- nicholas22

Forced pay-cut :D
Thanks, these suggestions make a lot of sense :) I might just stick with (a) as it makes the CV look good, and yeah I agree it's none of anyone's business. Yeah (b) is a bit stupid I reckon... As for (c) has anyone taken a few months off mid contracts? Did you have to fend off lots of...- nicholas22

Forced pay-cut :D
I work for a finance industry client and they haven't been doing amazingly this year- in fact over the few months lots of permies & contractors have been let go. :violin: Now they want us remaining contractors there to take a pay cut, I'm not sure what percentage it's going to be, maybe 10-15%...- nicholas22

How long to stay on my first contract?
:glasses Well last time I interviewed, they liked I am not jumping ship every 6 months. Some contractors are required to do more than cleaning someone else's toilets mate ;) edit: sorry replied to the wrong post... this was meant to go to the bloke who said 2 years are too long. :throw:- nicholas22
