Of course, there is no bonus for contract staff. Permanent job, not sure if got 2 mth bonus or not. IF got, overall, pay per annum is almost the same.<br /><br />Learning Opportunity: Can&#39;t comment much, but there should at least some learning over there (at contract job place) since it is a newly setup team. For my current permanent job, i&#39;m uninterested with the tasks, coz my job is boring, and out of my direction as it don&#39;t involve technical much, and i felt the potential for career growth in my current field is little.<br /><br />Commuting hassle: Contract job place is much much nearer to home, and can save alot on petrol+parking, at least some 2K in a year. And saves alot of time too.<br /><br />Job stable: Contract=can &#39;kill&#39; off anytime. Permanent=hard to kill unless i m really tht sucks. <br /><br />Working hours: Permanent is a fix ofis hour. Contract is a shift based (12 hours/shift), and the work pattern is like work 3 days, off 3 days. <br /><br />Benefits: Very much the same.<br /><br />Company structure: Both are MNCs UK/US based company.<br /><br />I have been tinking about this for days, stuck in a loop of &#39;what-ifs&#39; especially during this recession time.<br /><br />How would you decide? Will you play-safe?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> blabby Jobs &amp; Careers Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:00:57 +0800
