The brief overview of benefits includes 14 PTO days and 6 holidays. Health care, 401k, and all that jazz that seems typical on most companies. Vacation will be something I negotiate for since I currently have something like 34 days off a year currently. It's a perk of being with the company for 16 years. I can cross that bridge once I get there.



If you're getting PTO, holidays and 401k matching and other decent benefits plus that bump in pay, then it really sounds competitive with a salary offer. I guess only difference is, I think, that by nature a contract job won't be as secure as a salaried full time employee position.

Unless I didn’t read his posts correctly, this won’t be a contract position. I think he just mentioned contract as he spoke about what else was in his field. But maybe he can clarify.

Apart from giving up seniority and maybe some vacation, I don’t see much of a downside… especially in the IT field.

Side question for him: what sort of chances for advancement do you see at this new place versus your current employer?
