About the same. People will be like “the hours are long” but they all came from industry and are used to working 40-45 hours a week and having consistency.

Just like consulting you work 45-80 hours and have basically no idea how much you’ll have to work in a given week until you are actually doing it.

I have an opportunity to leave consulting and go to industry in a 100% WFH role (this is what I’m looking for). Problem is, it’s a contract to hire position. My hourly rate as the contractor would be about $40k more per year, but no PTO and the health, dental, and vision would be through TEKsystems (the recruiter). I’m tempted to chase the money but somewhat concerned about being a contractor. Anyone have any experience with this?
