You'd be a fool to take the job if you were me
It was that ammount but had other disadvantages.

Firstly being 1 year contract. No benifits. I had to move from the west coast to the east coast.

So I have to give up job security to move to place where my dollar will buy half as much and I pay more taxes. Where in my current job I have job security and full benifits package it hard to beat. With Benifits included I get paid $80,000 appoximately.

Now it hardly seems worth it gamble on a one year contract job offer on the otherside of the country where I actually have less money to spend.
