  • Contract job or not?

    Will you take up a contract role that has higher pay and same benefits as a perm role?

    If unemployed, will you take up a contract role if unable to get a perm role? Or will you grit your teeth and search for a perm role or will you switch line in order to get a perm role?

    Any bros in these same situations before?

    if employed, i will only go for contract job if it offers about 30% more than permanent job and the contract job is at least 3 years

    if unemployed, will take contract job straight away based on current market (also have to depends on what field)

          Contract job usually is 6 months to 1 year only. For govt jobs, the contract period is 2 years.

            Do you have a lot of job options ? Do you have a rich parent or wealth to support you ? If not, just grab the contract job and look for a permanent job while working .

                This is the right attitude! U nvr know, the contract job might lead to other things, which it did for 15yrs ago.

                    I had already done a contract role previously.

                    Here is another situation :

                    Would you choose a perm role at a start-up SME or a contract role in an MNC? A lot of MNCs looking at contract nowadays.

                    Salary is about the same at both roles. Although benefits might differ.

                      Bro. You have a lot of situations . Just apply the same principle of choosing 2 watches you like . Decide on the one you like the most. When you sick of the current one , look for another .
