Contract or Permanent?
Contract jobs Vs Permanent jobs have been covered to death on the wider Internet it seems, however it’s one of those debates that always swings round again - especially now in uncertain times!
Being a contractor has several benefits - you can pick and choose the work you do, and who its for! On the other hand you do lose job security and the benefits that go along with it.
Remember you’re paid for the days you work, if you don’t work - maybe because of sickness or holiday, you won’t get paid.
You’ll also need to pay for the benefits that a company would provide, such as healthcare and training. It does however allow you to set your own training budget and commitments!
In the current climate it’s wise to stay where you are - the job market is beginning to flood in some sectors as businesses such as banks close, and in others companies arn’t hiring to save on costs or see where the market goes.
We’ll come back to contracting over the next few weeks!
