I’m currently working at a job as a full time employee with health insurance benefits.
I’m just north of 30 with 3 kids and have a new job opportunity as a IT contractor that would pay me about $60,000 more per year in nominal dollars as a W2 contractor.
The only catch is the position doesn’t offer health insurance.
I’m hesitant to take this position given the wife and kids and the fact that contractors are the first to get cut. The position is a contract to hire position and conversion typically happens in the first 3 – 6 months.
Any thoughts on risk assessment hear and more importantly, what would it cost to get comparable (assume generic fortune 500 level health insurance for a family) health insurance until i was at some point in the future converted to a full time employee?
