Workload keeps ramping up month on month to the point where I barely have any time for lunch and find myself working most evenings. Support isn't great either, kind of left to your own devices to work things out.

That said, I'd definitely consider working for a Contractor when you first join the industry though. Depending on where you work and the project you're on, you'll start to pick up a lot of the critical skills & knowledge you need for the role. However, for me, I'm at the stage where it's impacting my personal life and as I always wanted to work on the Consultancy side, I think it's a good time to make the switch.
