Asking for a friend, he has two contract offers in hand. PNC and Comcast, while PNC seems to be a long term contract it’s away from his home and he would need to travel a lot whereas Comcast is nearby comparatively but the contract seems to be only for 9 to 12 months. Will there be any possibility for Comcast contract extension in the future depending on market conditions, any such experiences with Comcast will be really helpfu. TIA

It may depend on the department and available funding for the next year, but contractors typically get extended longer than a year if everything is working out for them and their managers. I knew maybe one person that was let go after an extension but they really weren’t performing great (example, they took naps at their desk while getting paid!).

I started at Comcast 7 years ago as a contractor and my offer was extended but I didn’t need it, as I got a full time opportunity with the company.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?
