More candidates are weighing up the pros and cons of contract work versus a permanent role. Both have real advantages, and the right answer depends on what stage of your career you’re at and how much you value stability versus flexibility and rate.
The case for contracting
Day rates are typically higher, you’ll work across a wider variety of projects, and you have more control over when and where you work between assignments.
The case for permanent
Job security, benefits, training investment and a clearer long-term career path all favour a permanent role — particularly earlier in your career.
