Charlotte based? I’ve worked down there pretty extensively. I don’t think contractor is ideal during recession. I’d ask what project you’re going to be aligned to & understand duration / criticality of project.

That’s right. CLT based. Treasury space.

People tend to undervalue the importance of benefits. At a time like this, nothing is more important than stability and medical insurance. As a contractor you are easily dispensable.

What's your contract rate (hourly or daily)?

Thanks a lot! You have some great points. Need to do some calc to be comfortable with the number. Also in this case the bank reached out to me first and extended the offer. Only diff is via a contracting firm rather than FTE

Be weary of contract positions in this environment, unless it comes with heavy protections such as a minimum payout if cut. I say this because BAC has said they are not going to cut staff, but when revenues go down in earnest on the commercial and retail side due to COVID they will gladly cut you.

You need to give #s "dam good" is worthless, your idea of dam good could be everyone else's joke.

current base+bonus+# of vacation days

Do you mean contract? I don't know what a contact position is.
