I am a Defence contractor in a $100k p/a full-time, secure, comfortable, easy and flexible role.
I have recently been offered a $750-950 per day ($200k +/- p/a) 12-month contract, with no annual/sick leave accrual, arguably much more work, doing something I would find boring, with no confirmation of contract extension at the end of the 12 months.
Would you stay in the secure & easy $100k job, or switch to the unsecure & boring $200k contract and find another job after 12 months?
Cheers

Case load= malpractice? Small plaintiff’s firm of 25 attorneys. I was a 2 year associate hired and given 50 active files in pre litigation status. 9 mos later a partner quit and I inherited 45 more. I got up to 105 files. Now I hover at 85 active files in varying stages of pre lit. I asked managing partner for help and was told to settle more claims to lessen my load. Is this what people consider negative work culture?
