I just did a move from a stable job to contract for 3+ years. It was a big company to big company type of move.
If you are contracting direct with the 8a company, maybe put in a clause if they terminate the contract early before 3 years, you get a specific type of severance.
Smaller companies mean more work because you don’t have a person for finance, for scrum master, project manager, etc.
My biggest concern with this transition would be are you standing up the project management department or is there an established department already and you just have to work on the project. If it is the latter, I would ask to talk with folks in the role to see how much time it is taking them to do the work.
Unless you’re in a place of financial stress and are in a toxic work environment, I do not see the benefit of leaving a stable job. Are you unhappy with your current big to want to find alternative? If not, I would stay where you are confident and content. Why add more stress for a min guaranteed 3 years, unless the growth potential is what you’re after. That’s a tough one. I’d likely stay where I’m at, but that’s just me. Good luck!
55K more base salary. 6% more 401K match. Opportunity for ~2-3.5% of company profit sharing and a seat at the table as part of their leadership. Those are the main attractions. Everything else is comparable.
I would have to do more work if I transition... As expected. New company, new customer, new team. Whereas, where I am now... I am smooth sailing “settled” for at least 5 years with my current project since we just won the recompete, but I will never see the 55K since the increase is barely 3% per year and there is no growth potential.
