I have a month to month contract with an agency part of a big holding company. They are super busy and need the help. However, it’s the end of the month and another agency reached out for me to come and work on something on very different and it seems like a cool opportunity.

Would I be burning the bridge if I take this other job? Again, contract ends end of week and I think they want to renew.

Do both if you can!!

You would not be burning bridges if you just say that you had something already booked. The worry is that you might get replaced. But when you are on month to month, stability is never there for you. If you think the new project will help your book, go for it.

Assuming you’re WFH, do both.

This.

Most agencies won’t blame you if you don’t renew with them because you have a better, longer, or higher-paying opportunity.

To me, it would depend how long the new opportunity is for. If the new place is guaranteeing several months of work, then I’d let my current agency know. And ask the current place if they could book me for a similar or longer amount of time.

Why not both

Do both and then take a month off to relax

One is 40 hours and the other is 37 hours. Just seems like a lot and managing my calendar could get weird

The holding company also has a strict policy against billing for wait time. So they can't say you aren't allowed to work another job. Their lawyers could get themselves into a lot of trouble

You should have a gig renewal at least two weeks in advance of your expiration date. It would not be burning bridges if you were to move on, because it would be assumed that your contract is not being renewed if it is within the two week window.
