I prefer multipe projects but I cant be the primary on both and on one I need to have smaller roles.

I prefer to work on one task at a time, but I can work different projects task by task. What I absolutely don't like is switching often and in the middle of unfinished tasks. It requires a lot of time to dive back into WIP.
Also: The better everything is documented / commented the easier it is to switch between projects. When I was young I was very chaotic (like many programmers), meanwhile I try to keep my stuff tidy, it helps a lot to come back to a project, read some code and comments and immediately understand what it was about or where to continue ("// TODO:" comments!)

Too much of the same thing is not good for health. Working on multiple projects at same time may help keep your brain rejuvenated and sometimes even reduce stress levels. But the only condition is that you must enjoy your job.

yea but too little time for anything is much worse and most probably your brain body soul would not be rejuvenated.

you said yourself "too little time for anything". In real time these days finding time for our loved ones itself is a big project. Gone are the times when we could comfortably work on one thing at a time. If you want "time for anything" you must learn to handle multiple things at the same time.

You are correct! I will use the word "smarter"....
you said yourself "too little time for anything". In real time these days finding time for our loved ones itself is a big project. Gone are the times when we could comfortably work on one thing at a time. If you want "time for anything" you must be smarter and learn to handle multiple things at the same time.

Oh and I forgot ... there is an enjoying the job part. If you are not able to do multiple projects at the same time most probably you are not enjoying your job....?

And yes I do love my job,....because I don't do something I don't like...and I do like doing a lot of it.
But thank you for your thoughts....I can't discuss about ego because it'd be like moving out of topic.

To be successful, you need to be paid, and paid well. Especially here in Asia. You should aim to either establish your own firm (assume you actually have an innovative product), or work for a hedge fund (They pay you)[^]
If you just work for whoever, you'd end up wasting all your time/energy/youth churning out code and when you wake up at 35 years old, balding and gut hanging out, you'd all of a sudden it isn't very cool at all you spent your life code for some sh*t head (who probably tells you you're a hero all the while) and not being able to afford a mortgage, buy a car, feed your parents, or have enough money to get married.
Asia is different kid, play smart. Avoid shallow pockets who don't pay (At all cost)

Usually I have a large project on the go but I'm also called onto smaller more immediate jobs such as writing new utilities for our production team; on the one hand it's a pain to be pulled off the main project when I'm in a good flow, but at the same time it's sometimes nice to have a little break.

Sure, I prefer a single project at a time. Focus on more project it impact quality work and delivery.

more work doesn't equal more pay, especially in IT - and most definitely with Asian firms

I prefer multiple project.
The reason is that most of the time I code a little, and then need input from other people for whatever reason (database access, business question or whatever)
I don't want to waste my time (and thus my customer money), by taking action with incomplete input.
So when that's the case I switch on another project at hand.
That's also why my customer are happy : I'm don't cost them any money when I'm waiting :p
On my case I'm happy because I have no down time.
Nicolas,
