Contract work or permanent, which would you take? - first time posting

The pay is fair but there are no benefits. Thank you in advance. I would gain recent experience. Did a contract become permanent?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Buy coverage through the marketplace if the contract has none. I budgeted for it before signing.
