Appreciation post: Took a chance on a contract gig over a stable job offer
I had to choose between a full-time offer at a local marketing firm and a 6-month contract with a tech startup. The full-time job paid $65k with benefits, but the contract role was project-based and paid $50 an hour. I picked the contract, even though it felt risky. It just ended last week, and they offered me a permanent lead position at $85k. Has anyone else had a short-term role turn into something bigger like that?
