Comment on Would you take a short term job(1-2 months) over a local longer term that makes nearly 8months worth of salary??

This sounds like OP has a full time position somewhere and is thinking of quitting to go work as a contractor. My guess is that he’s unemployed after 2 months and would need to find a new job.

My general feeling on this is that it’s fine if they understand the difference. I don’t know of they’re in the US or elsewhere, but in the US the taxes on 1199 contractors are pretty high and there are no benefits. This can heavily change the calculus.

I would see if my current employer would allow me to take a 2 month leave of absence and then come back.
