I work in IT, and have spent my career to date doing contract jobs; three months here, six months there. Project ends and I move on. I've averaged two employers/clients a year for twelve years.

I accepted a permanent position with my latest client, and am out of the contracting game. Less money this way, but the tradeoff is benefits and job security. This job is more software development and and analysis, and less project management; which is definitely less stress. Allows more time for me to be a proper father and husband.
