Ask HN: Leaving a secure job for a remote contract position
Hi folks, I've been interviewing for several weeks looking for better income and challenges. I'd need to work as a contractor because I am living in South America and all the interested companies are from the US. The things is, being a contractor means that the company can no longer need my services whenever they want and that's the reason I've been having troubles deciding to follow this path or not. I'm in a good position right now and I'll need to leave a secure job plus some clients in order to start on the new job. I consider myself a good professional but it's difficult to know beforehand what level of output will the new company require. I'm afraid I won't be up for the task and they will end the contract a month or two after starting. Do you have any experiencies related to this? Am I being too dramatic? Is there a way to better approach this? 1 comments on Hacker News.
