Welcome back, but finding contract roles is getting harder.
Current contract ends this month, trying not to accept the extension as project is RIP and could go at any time.
Went for an interview for another role, and may have over sold myself. Half way through they started talking about a permie role.

I did two consecutive perm gigs a few years ago, both lasted around 12 months (the first ended in redundancy, the second, I jumped because I was required to compromise my personal and professional integrity).
Now they just look like two 12 month contracts on my CV
