Contract work or permanent, which would you take? - 21 weeks in

I got a contract offer for 11 months as an operations analyst and I am unsure whether to accept. This is my first time dealing with any of this. The contract could extend. How did you handle benefits?

Ask about extension likelihood and whether the team has hired contractors before.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
