    Contract, especially if it is the same company. More money, I reckon more time to source other clients for increased stability. I am sure your time will be more flexible this way as well. If they were to fire you, they would've done this whether you were contract or permanent.

    Having said this, I was once let go by a large company afer a few years of contract work when they decided to tighten their belt in the wake of a big market slump. They got rid of most of their non – permanent staff then.
    Still, looking back and knowing this – I wouldn't choose to go permanent when they offered me to after the first half a year there.

    • But... you have to weigh the risk. Are they really giving you a choice now? Are they suggesting either option?raf
