There's never a rush.
"Take it easy", as my carribean friend would say. Before lighting a spliff.
(which I never do, I better add..)

Get yourself a 2 days per week remote working contract for the summer.

I was in a similar boat. I was quite looking forward to a few weeks sat in the garden enjoying the weather but I landed a short gig that takes me right up to my holiday.
Now I sit in clientco office without A/C and the strong sun pouring through the window at me sweltering in my suit

It's a matter of gut feel, but I had a couple of nibbles when I uploaded my CV and left it visible on one board for a few days.Originally posted by ChimpMaster View PostIt all depends on how easy it is to get the next contract. I envy those who have the most marketable skills, able to move from one contract to the next at leisure! I've been fortunate with mine but it's very much a niche, which means I can't choose the timing myself.
Enjoy your summer
I don't think there'll be a problem once I've opened it on all the boards.

One week left on my contract
And I haven't got that extension paperwork through yet.
But it's lovely out and I'm on holiday in a couple of weeks - I might hold off putting my CV out on the boards and enjoy a few weeks in the sunshine.
