SHUT IT DOWN-You Make the call

If you’re in job-search mode and trying to move fast and reduce uncertainty: go W2.

That’s the default “stability + signal” choice.

W2 gives you:

• stronger credibility with recruiters and ATS

• steady income while you reposition

• clearer career narrative (“employed, progressing” vs “between contracts”)

• better long-term leverage for senior roles
  

Contract only wins when:

• you need immediate cash flow and can’t wait

• you’re targeting interim / consulting leadership roles

• you’re deliberately building a portfolio of short, high-impact projects
  

Otherwise, for most executive job searches, contract work can slow down focus because you’re constantly selling your next engagement instead of landing a stable leadership role.

Call: W2.
