At what point do you ask for an extension that seems inevitable? My contract goes till this Friday, but the project feels quite behind, so it seems like it must extend. That said, the vibe with the agency is weird. Doesn’t feel like they understand conceptual work flows, so part of me is fine with not going past the contract date.
But money is money. 🤔

Some companies are good about letting you know in advance, others wait til the last day… I would shoot them a note mon or tues next week asking if they’d like to extend saying you’re getting some pings for the following week

You should be asking already.

I’ve been on a project where my contract has been extended no less than 5 times.. I typically ask 3 weeks to a month before it ends just for my own sanity

I ask the week before, I think it’s fair

Mention someone is asking to hold you starting x date given that’s supposed to be your last date at the current place. That will either nudge them to extend you or not. They can easily get someone else to finish your work so extension, (in their eyes), is not a must.

We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
