    1 month might as well be consulting rates which are a lot higher than you'd charge as a regular FTE. What kind of work only needs a Sr systems engineer for a month?

    A lot of times these "projects" don't go as planned and you can get a few more months out of them......

    I have no experience with this so my question may be dumb but..

    How do you get a contract without rates being negotiated upfront?
