if you are going to be laid off, then pick the contract one. Otherwise, that make no diff. -bridge2k(bridge2k); 2003-1-15 (#976665@0)
1.半年后会延长吗？2。你现在的工作有lay off的危险吗？3。如果不能延长，你能马上找到工作续上吗？考虑好这些问题先。另外，一天工作的小时数要看所在公司的规定，7-8 都有可能。 -luoboyang(萝卜秧); 2003-1-15 (#976706@0)
Hi, I have the same situation here. With two years in this posion, I feel boring, and want to change to a contractor. but contractor is not stable.. -resp4child(教育基金); 2003-1-15 (#976718@0)
This offer sounds good, now it becomes a challenge to you to decide which options would work better, I think you should consider the future benefitiary to measure the risk... -xcz2003(xxxccczzz); 2003-1-15 (#977469@0)
如果对自己的能力有信心，家里也没什么负担的话，就...干！

理由如下：

1. 这年头，没有多少真正的permanent job了。看看那些被lay off的，大部分还不都是所谓的permanent job。
2. 你如果不换工作，那你只有一个Customer，就是你的现雇主。你如果做了Contractor，就会先后给不同的雇主干，干得好的话，也就是几个或几十个Customers。想想那个风险更大些。
3. 干Contractor，给自己点儿压力，可以保持更好的竞技状态。 -yehongwei(天拖南); 2003-1-15 {345} (#978091@0)

Most of the Full time job is very stable, has many benifit, If I give up, I lost many things, such as company pension. Under current economicsituation, after on contract job, the risk of staying at home is very very high. -resp4child(教育基金); 2003-1-15 {80} (#978113@0)

Well, the attractive point of a contract job is that if you have this kind of job one after another, you make much much more money that a full time one. -resp4child(教育基金); 2003-1-15 (#978140@0)
