I contract. I've got clients, but all my work is either waiting on other people, hardware, or money right now, so I hear you. Hang in there.

It's been four months in a six month contract!!;
|
|
|
|

Next Tuesday will mark a year that I’ve been in my six-month contract. For the first few months or so I didn’t have a whole lot to do. It took the client the better part of a month to send me a laptop so during that time I was able to download and learn how to use a component that I would be using for the project I was hired to do. Near my six months on the job I was made part of another team at the same client. Now I’m staying pretty busy but every once in a while I have some dead time.

I'm four months in, and it's a ghost town. I know things can start slow

Christian,
Based on your comments on the thread, I'd be looking for a way to protect the $1k a day. Come up with a short (or long) list of proposed improvements, feature adds, etc. Being paid, I don't see the loss in spending time developing a plan for the client. I'd also have concerns about that amount not flying under the company radar and losing a nice check.
Let your creativity flow and wow the heck out of them. It's worth a shot if that is what you want to keep doing. That's good money for an 'open' type of contract. If you create the need, and can get a renewal, you'd still have a good deal that wouldn't be forcing you to crunch keys for 8 hours a day.

It's a superannuation company. What I have access to is tightly controlled. There's just not much scope for that. Hell, I still don't have azure access. There's other roles paying that, I've had them before.

Hey, first I admit I had to look up Quote: superannuation I thought I was missing some tech thing.
That's a tough situation from the work point of view, though the money isn't bad in AUD.
In that case, I guess I'd just take the money and enjoy your spring on the beach while researching your next venture.

The contract has two months left, at a minimum I assume I won't stay on. I've already interviewed with someone who expects to hire in Jan

Hey Christian, nice to hear from you !
|

|
Hey mate!! I have nothing to do and thought I'd drop in!!!

They are much appreciated.
I'll reply to you individually at some point, but I'm both floating on a seea of coffee and not in a good place mentally ATM - nothing to worry about, I'm just having a lot of difficulty focussing and making a lot of "bad news calls" which are all difficult in different ways - but for the moment please accept a "group thank you".
Everyone local is rallying around and being supportive (which is hard to process in it's own way) but I have some difficult decisions to make in the next few days so I may or may not be here much.
Thank you all again.

Can't think of what word you used for your 5th attempt?

That's unexpected, was it Corona related?

Very sorry to hear this, I hope you get the space and support you need
