> I am not sure if they'll extend my contract.
With contracting you are never sure. Increased risk, increased
reward. On the other hand, with FT employment you're never sure
either. We are all temps...
If the company is having problems I'd be more worried about
completing the current contract than about an extension.
> when do I start looking for other contracts/jobs?
Never stop..
> If I find a better, stable job, can I stop a contract mid-way?
Better to finish the project so you have a cool API guide to
show at your next interview.
