What career move would you make? FAANG Contract or steady work

[mohelena02]

I would only take the the contract if you see it as an opportunity and are excited by it. If it's just for a short-term monetary gain, then I think you will be stressed out and unhappy at the end.

I am creating a spreadsheet to see exactly what the bottom line for the financial difference would be. The six month end really is stressful to think about, I am more leaning on not taking it.l

Based on the info you’ve provided. I would stay where I was at. Not sure giving up a permanent position for a short term contract even though it’s FAANG would look good on resume anyway. Especially if you’ve been with the current organization for awhile. I want employees who are going to be committed and not chasing unicorns. Now if it was permanent that would be a different story. I would then have to weigh in and study the pros and cons of each, but not for a temp job. Fwiw imo

Thank you for your input! I really appreciate it.

I created a spreadsheet to weigh all the pros and cons and finances. I am starting to think I should just stay where I am.
