As it happens I have landed up with multiple contracts but more through luck than anything else. Each is a different project with a different client using different skillsets and each on a different niche product I happen to have on my CV. Hence everyone has put me on a retainer.

I just take what people post about their situation for the most part as the truth, if they are lying I don't really care, as I won't be basing any life decisions around it.

HTH.

Hoping current client co might be amenable to a 4 day week at some point, but not sure I'll find any other paid to work for the other day.
