What to do?

Depends how you define "that long". I was responding to your original 3/6 month comparison......

Weigh it up against how having a longer stint at the current gig looks on your cv too. Sometimes, it looks better to have multiple renewals, than to keep moving around every 3/6 months.

The trick with several offers on the table is to go in at different higher rates on the ones you fancy least, this will let you test what the market will stand and whether you are underselling yourself.
