what did you decide?

Re: Contract or Perm.

Stay perm dude. Avoid the charm of the high paying contract if you haven't already. Perm is what you want in these times.

Keeping my current job, I like ppl and work. etc.

I'm with Cheegs on this one... the economic downturn is the reason for me to suggest the risk averse option as well - unless you're in a profession where contracts are abundantly and readily available for the taking, I'd stick with a permanent job.

But tell you the truth consulting is more fun. I would do after a year or so,

Re: Contract or Perm.

dude - Rogers has one of the highest employee turnover rates and lowest employee morale - and they're not that great with freelance/contractors either. I'm assuming you haven't researched into any employer ratings online.

In any case, I guess it worked out for the better I suppose.

No I guess I should learn those things too hmmmm

So decided, NO to rogers. I hate them any ways, charge me so much money for my cell phone.

Re: Contract or Perm.

I almost had a 1 yr contract with Rogers last January and i was desperate to get in because my ass was getting numb sitting at home all day. I was waiting to hear back from them but the hiring manager came back a week late from his winter vacay. And just a day before he asked me to join, another place offered me a position and i jumped at that. Looking back now i think thank God for white people and their long vacations.
