Today we are talking about contracting and consulting today! 

 

Reasons contracting might be a good option for you: 

1) You are chasing industries and you don’t have any experience in the new industry 

2) Typically you do get more money 

3) If you get bored after 6-24 months with a company or in a particular role and you feel you are changing jobs often because you’re bored and you need that change 

4) You’re the type of person who likes to work for a variety of different companies 

5) You want to work in different type of industries 

 

Reasons why contracting might not be a good fit for you: 

1) If you are going to be constantly stressed out about your contract ending, you’re not sure what you’re going to do next and this will give you a ton of stress and anxiety

2) If you need certain benefits if you can’t get in a contracting role (hold for the myths section though LOL) 

3) If you will have a fear of not getting a new contract when your current one is over (also this is the opposite of having an abundance mindset 

4) If you are the type of person who wants to find a really great company and stick with that company into retirement

1) Contracting doesn’t offer stability 

2) Benefits
