You have a great start to your new contract, and before you know it, your 13-week assignment will be finished, and you’ll be working with your recruiter to plan the next! But what if you don’t want to leave just yet? The decision comes to the surface as you contemplate traveling to a new location or extending your current assignment to stay for a while longer.
