As the project is finished, he can look to start somewhere else.

I am always looking at contract end date even before I accept a role and judge if there is likely to be an extension. If I don't get extended to a good date I will look for a longer or shorter extension.
suityou stop putting the client first, you are first, client second.

Benched as of 2nd nov. Current project coming to a close. All delivered.
So I jobbed it
The SAP project I was delivering to is going to hell in a handcart though.
I keep getting dragged into meetings to give my considered opinion, and am told I am well respected by the SAP team. However this does not extend to being offered a contract extension but them.
What I have noticed is that their senior architect is struggling like f***, and in front of an audience has been slagging me off, and behind closed doors implementing everything I have been advising.
No more freebies from me, but it's too late I guess. Once again I'm shocked at how childish and f******* underhand people can be, and how f****** naive I can be. Makes me want to chin the chunt.
Anyways, rant over, bring on the hoards of CUK, oh yes, and don't forget to clear those 5 spaces for me.

Hire a professional, don't do it yourself. I can recommend Big Dagger Dave from Dagenham or Chop 'Em up Harry from Hounslow.
