Risky to take a contractor job in this potential environment if we go into a full blown recession.
I doubt it would hurt your resume.
If you could set aside the increased pay to fund a rainy day stash then you could luck out and find another gig at the end of the contract or it may end up extended. That is a calculated risk to take and is solely based on your aversion to risk. Personally, I would not do it in the current labor market.
Personally wouldn’t take the risk of 6 month salary and title bump for a temporary position. Good to keep your job and keep hunting for FT positions like this one.
Since its a contract, can you do it on the side? Assuming it’s not in violation of your current work contract.
Valid question lmao
Nope
Personally, I would not take the contractor position due to 6 months and no benefits. As many others have mentioned in comments, very risky in this economy…
Would you be a w-2 employee or 1099 contractor? If 1099, it’s not a 1:1 comparison to current salary. don’t forget about self-employment taxes, insurance, 401k matching, other benefits. Likely much closer than 40%, especially at senior level
