Heh yea, that's what will likely happen. I should have been more clear on why this is a problem.
Basically as a contractor I am a free agent, I could quit tmrw and my relationship with company X still looks fine, as I'm just doing contracted work. So on a resume, "contractor, Analyst, Apple" for 6 months looks significantly better then "analyst, Apple" for 6 months (which would require an explanation)
I've been doing a lot of work looking into different opportunities and wanting to ground my career again, possibly moving out to California, etc. As a contractor that leaves my with a lot of wiggle room, as a "Senior Time Out Holder", well I can't just have a 3 month stint for that on my resume.
Thanks for the well wishes though. Curious, did you leave finance?

Preaching to the choir. My first job out of college I was put on a big project finance team and I loved the work. Building financials for $100M+ projects, hotels, restaurant chains, etc. had a great/brillaint boss that took me under his wing.
But yea worked 70 weeks and loved it. That team was disbanded, I was put in consolidations finance, and started hating 40 hour weeks. Haven't stopped hating finance since.

Haha. I showed Miss Ava your first post and she basically said "well he's a better man than I". We both absolutely hate the corp world man. Perhaps smaller enterprise is the way to go but we're both pretty jaded on corp. finance at least.
