Did you ever terminate a project before your contract ends because it is outside of your skills and level? Agencies terminate contract as they wish, can contractors do that without tarnishing their reputation? Can this be avoided with a better SOW/proposal? How do you do that?

I have terminated a contract a month early (with a few days notice to make sure they weren’t at a loose end). But it was because the people were terrible to work with. Of course I didn’t tell them that. I said I was offered a longer term gig that I couldn’t pass up.

Point is, you can say anything because it’s an at will agreement. You might do more harm to your rep if you stay in a gig that isn’t suitable.

I’ll never get called by their internal recruiter again (he was pissed) but I don’t think the leadership at that agency would know or care. And it hasn’t stopped me from getting work elsewhere. My reputation is intact.

yes you can leave the contract whenever you like. it should be within your contract. sometimes you need to pay the client.

will it tarnish your reputation? a bit.. but you can always leave and introduce them to someone else who will “take over” your role. that’s the best route.
