A. This is something you have "been working on landing this job for about four months or so." Being slightly underqualified is a good thing. It gives you an opportunity to skill up. And they see your ability or would not have made an offer. You always have the option to get a second laptop to keep Lit separate from work.ok...
please vote A or B
A. move to new job. pays more...like a lot more (like seriously, 40k more). does NOT pay for vacation time. potentially decently UNDERqualified and that poses some serious risk for sure. might be awesome experience to add to resume and new contacts and exposure etc. might have to use own laptop as opposed to being given one which would suck for checking email/lit/banking/spotify/youtube etc.. bigname client. been working on landing this job for about four months or so.
B. stay at current job. work on different project with different team. pay is still quite good just not elite. does pay vacation like a full-time job (not contract etc). last project didnt work out for variety of factors so maybe there is a "flag" in your file. new project sounds right up yer alley. work in a "silo" of sorts,s o you arent depending on tons of people which could be a good or bad thing.
No. I know many people that are over 40 with families that are contractors. The biggest things are they set aside money for time off (sick and holiday) and all of the other benefits you are not provided. This is why the pay difference is so great. Cost of health insurance and other benefits is significant.would you answer change if I was 45, married, house, had 1-3 kids?
