Its whatever floats your boat at the time…..too big a subject to write as every one has their own reasons why… Best to look at your situation and decide whats best for you… 😉
As above really. Everyone has different requirements at different times but for me personally i would prefer to have at least some fixed wage coming in every month. Also helps with alot of things in this day and age to be able to show a fixed monthly income for mortgage purposes etc etc. Usually, even with a fixed salary plus day rate there are times during the year when you get extra lump sums so for me i definetly prefer that way.
Having worked at times all the scenariao’s mentioned, I’m happiest working straight day rate now, I more or less choose when I want to work…however it also has a lot to do with what stage in your career you are at, there is a lot to be gained from being a staffer if you are still learning the ropes. Seasons greetings to everyone and lets have a prosporous 2014! 😀
