As an independent contractor, you may have more flexibility with your schedule and ultimately, the ability to fulfill more than one contract at a time. You don't need to pledge loyalty or work a designated amount of hours, because you are most likely paid by the project.

If overemployed as an independent contractor, how would you manage multiple contract projects? Do you stager the deadlines or replace each one immediately after completing a project?

Need Suggestion.

I am the only developer in my team and my manager has assigned me a project in which I need to create a tool from scratch although that is currently running in production build by third party and we don't have access to that code.

I am on notice period and I am 100% sure that project won't be completed before my LWD.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.
