I'm in a dilemma of choosing between my current job and an offer that just came...my current job is on contract ending April with possiblity of extension. Pay is 100k; take home is 93k whereas the new offer is more permanent pay 70; take home around 60 something with possiblity of growth. Should I take d new offer considering that my current job contract will soon run out??or should I take the new job...ur candid advices is highly needed..thanks

This is indeed difficult to choose

Short answer...take the permanent job.

A permanent job with possible growth should be your best bet than a contract job which ends in a couple of months absent career growth.

Don't be deceived by the pay check...choose wisely.

hmm.. it is difficult to choose. But is the 60k job a government job? if it not, don,t bother taking such as pay cut. From your statement the 60k is with possibility of growth, meaning the growth is not sure. For me the risk of the contract job is as high as the permanent job, I will take the one with the highest pay. Life itself is risky.

I feel you still stay with someone that is why you are ready to take such a pay cut. But it is up to you to decide as this is strictly my opinion which may not be the best.
