Does it effects your stability quetiont?

The question is: If working as a contractor (direct or indirect) be such a concern, then why would one want to pose a question and ask for peoples' suggestions while it all seems so decided about not working on contract!!
Now, the reply to your post:
There are loads of benefits working as contractors. You can save a lot of taxes (if planned properly). Contractors can claim a who lot of things in exemptions from the IT department, which includes conveyance, stationery etc. which are not privileged to perm employees :-)
I worked on a contract ones after quitting a fulltime job. I was happy to make the choice because:
1) The stability concern that many future employers might have expressed is rightly justified when you quote that you worked on contract of X months/years.
2) The associated firm cannot restrict contractors from having parallel contracts or employments. And hence, I could do my freelance jobs, and part-time assignments without worries.
And, IF you are a HR person, you would know that extending contracts or permanent positions is complete based on business requirements and not liabilities or rules of engagement. Hence the answer to the last part is:
"It depends!!"

Hi
Thnks for your inputs.
Well, i am working with an MNC as a payroll associate in its finance departemnt.But i am on a consultant's payroll and this job is on contractual basis for 6 months.
However, before this, i was working with a real estate company as Ex- HR, handling the core HR functions.
I have joined this company thinking of its brand name and good saalry but now really thinking whether i have taken the right decision or not.
The profile is different- from HR to Finance.
So what should i do- should i quit this job and start a fresh for looking a job in HR profile only or should i continue with it considering the brand name and pay.
Please Guide...
