Got offered a 12 month contract outside IR35 with an IB yesterday on a reasonable rate working closely with the front office. Accepted the role start in a few weeks after the usual security vetting etc etc Phone also went mad last few days I was juggling several roles so keep trying everyone there was definitely a surge in IB roles the last few days Brexit is as expected is producing the contracts suddenly as the taps get turned on the volatile markets produce contracts with immediate starts!
Just my 2 pence. Don't be complacent. Assess it after you are in there and decide.

In the real world anyone sensible knows that contracts get canned when projects get cancelled/budgets chopped etc. Unfortunately there are enough dumbarses among agents and clients who will look at a short contract and assume the contractor has been fired, and this makes it just another hurdle to get over.
If it were me (and I appreciate it isn't) I would consider leaving this one off the cv to avoid such prejudices, since it is less than one month. Did it once myself.

No Im deffo not minted at the moment. No small thanks to the wife and kids.
Can deffo say if my first born had been a girl I'd probably have turned down the idea of child no 2.
How can a three year old spend so much???

Would not worry about it at all for future job prospects as most hiring managers are understanding that it takes longer to find new contracts so CV gaps are quite common now.
This sort of thing happens all the time in financial services never happened to me onsite but offsite had a few contracts cancelled before I ever went onsite due to them finding internal resource to do the role after the contracts were agreed but not fully signed by all parties!
