TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'd trust the recruiter. Around Boston, an initial 90 is the norm,
but you should be asking about the potential length in the interview
with the client, not the recuiter.

Subject: Contract Job Avg Duration
Question to all listserv members doing contract work (W-2,1099,etc.)
Going into a job, what is the average stated anticipated duration of a TW
contract assignment.
A recruiter from the Boston area recently told me that 99% of all contract
jobs are initially for three months, but that the majority are subsequently
boosted-up to a duration of six months or more. How does this sound?
Note: I have read that the average stated duration going into a contract job
is six months.
Thanks
Tony Markatos
