1) Good people both permies and contractors, interesting technology which has added to my CV and the end client is prestigious. Problem is bad management, both project and man management so those who do take the piss get away with it, main problem is there is no real end in sight, and day to day fire fighting take over everything.
2) February, not sure how I can pad this out to a paragraph so will add some Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut vestibulum luctus neque, et volutpat sapien tristique eu. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Mauris accumsan egestas nulla id lacinia. In lectus diam, pulvinar ac dignissim eu, volutpat ac ipsum. Curabitur aliquet urna vitae felis volutpat blandit ut vel justo. Donec scelerisque quam quis nulla scelerisque scelerisque. Suspendisse eu metus eget quam mattis volutpat id at metus. Donec vitae hendrerit nulla.
OK so why not just ride it out until Feb, take a month off and then get back in the saddle in April, soaring atop the wave of new budget money like a champion surfer?
And I guess what you mean is, guarantees the next gig will be any better? You can't.
Could you set yourself some personal targets on bringing about change within current client co? Nothing big, just noticeable enough so it keeps you occupied in delivering that change, leaves a legacy so peope will remember you fondly and perhaps makes that company 1 millimetre better?
The world aint perfect, and if it was we'd all be out of a job.
1) what is so bad about your current gig. Summarise in 1 paragraph, using examples. [50 marks]

On a nightmare of a project and getting pimps offering me more money and closer to home.
Someone convince me to stay at honor my contract
Why?
Go for the better option and remember it is not really an option until you have a contract in your mitt.
Once you have that then, and only then, do you have any choice to make.
At that point check your Give-A-Sh1t meter, and if it is not flickering with guilt over your current gig then jump ship.
