I am in a dilemma on a job offer which is a contractor position for a fairly new but fast growing & successful tech company. Fully remote. The role is building out the accounting function so there’s a lot of room for growth & the pay is 40% higher (yes I considered outside expenses such as taxes, medical, etc) & can become FTE. I am still at my current role in tech as well that’s fully remote which the pay & team are good with guaranteed growth but I’ve felt unhappy for a while. Thoughts?

It’s difficult to get used to contract work since you are at a 50/50 chance it getting an FTE position or not. Personally, I would enjoy doing the work hoping for the best and keeping my options open just in case the FTE position doesn’t come through. Contracts can be renewed as well so do your outmost if you love what you do soon you’ll find joy doing your work.

Thank you for your input. I agree. Taking contract work is a 50/50 chance (something I have not experienced), but I decided to take the chance with added terms. Hope it works out 🤞🏻

Why do you feel unhappy? Honestly I’d take it

The culture is no longer the small tech feel. Upper management have been a nazi on pointless projects. Close timelines have been constantly reduced while being understaff but also now more than half the team are new in the past year. I have been stressed in this role which I never felt before. Although the job is secure and I have great visibility with my manager and executives, I no longer feel like myself. I’d take the new job as well but it’s a gamble so I’ll be adding terms that make sense and worth it.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
