I have worked for a company for over 1 year and I am not happy, but it is a full time position. I was just offered a contract with a big 4 company with a huge pay increase, but it's guaranteed temporary only. When the contract ends, so does the employment with them.

I also have some big stressers in my life right now where I need to move and other things of the same caliber.

What's your perspective? Keep the full time job for stability, or risk it at a gig that's promised to be temporary?

Does your current job allow you to work from home? That's important if you are going to. need to move. 1 year is not a lot of time. Employers don't like to see "job-hoping". Stay where you are for a little longer... maybe another year or two before you do a move. Who knows, the 2nd place you had mentioned might not work out. It might just end and you will be left with nothing as you said. At least you have a steady income right now which is more than most of us on this forum have. Consider yourself lucky you are working and stop that "Im not happy" thing. Non of us are "happy"... just trying to survive.

Good Advice

In this job market, my advice is to stay. A move is big, and so is starting a new job!

It all depends on the duration. A temporary contract for three months is one thing; a temporary contract for three years is another.

on that term i would not risk it
