Open quick question - I negotiated no notice period for this extension so if something bigger and better comes along I could jump on it. Out of courtesy what would be considered a good notice period for a client in this situation in your view?
I've negotiated a shorter notice period in the past, but made sure that handovers were being done well in advance if need be and people had access to the necessary materials before I left.

Legally, you can walk out the door and not come back.
You'll been within your rights to offer them a day, 2, a week.
But in reality , someone at client co might well be pissed off if it's anything less than a month which they will see as standard, despite what someone higher up in management might have agreed to.
So chances are high someone is going to slag you off to all and sundry for "walking out", even though you will be well within your rights.
trend carefully and be aware what could happen.

Also, talk of 2 permie dev hires (or rather fixed term contracts) has been shelved due to the way the org is restructuring in 9 months.
So even more possibilities for me to get my grubby mitts on
