I continue contracting work. I love what I'm doing, and
I like the people I'm doing it for, but I'm doing far, far more than my position
describes or my rate compensates, and, as a contractor, it's a bit like being a
renter, paying somebody else's mortgage: There's no equity for my investment.
No bonus, no raise, and no hope of either — short of sticking out the contract
for two more years and hoping to get hired on at a more suitable paygrade. There's
a surplus of open positions on the market. It's a great time to shop for a position
elsewhere — one with actual benefits (like vacation, maybe?). I'd be doing my
family a disservice if I didn't.
