I have experience doing it twice, it’s hit or miss based on the team/project you join. The pay is great but crazy hours (and yes they will challenge you at times) and expectations are high due to your high hourly rate. Must take into account No benefits as well.
Done it. Definitely fast money but the offset will have you questioning if it was a waste of time. consider the following:
- when things go great you aren’t the one getting the credit and its contract, so pay bumps can be nil
- Have to constantly defend your time like they don’t know what they brought you in to do
-when things go bad, they blame the contractor even if it’s not you’re fault
- they use contractors for busy season level work. You will be extremely busy
- No growth potential. Not the most important to a lot of contractors but if it is, it will not contribute to a higher role oftentimes elsewhere, when ready to go back to perm
- no paid holidays, firm shutdowns, etc
- benefits after a certain amount of time but you will pay 3x what you would if you were an internal ft employee
- all in all, if you can look past the high of the big numbers of an OT week, the money balances back out. Which is logical from a business perspective.
For all that - find your own clients and work for yourself.
I don't have experience with GigNow but worked for EY as a contractor and had a bad experience has they constantly challenged the hours I billed which resulted in a lot of payments from EY being delayed.
My goodness if the scrutiny is anything like the scrutiny we receive for submitting an expense report I would imagine that would be unbearable. Despite detailed descriptions I constantly have those returned to me. I can’t even imagine how bad it would be for a contractor.
