Does it change the answers at all if I say I hate my current salaried job? 😅

Yes. I hopped in to ask about that. If you hate your job I think it’s absolutely worth considering. Life is short and doing a job you hate is soul crushing. If you have some savings stashed away to get you through 6-12 months of unemployment, then I totally think bouncing to take the $75/hour gig could be worth it.

The job market is insane and shows no signs of moving to a candidates market. What if you don’t get the extension? You’ll be dealing with the most competitive job market.

No

Oh if you hate your job that changes things…
