- You don't get paid for any days you don't work (sick day, holiday, public holiday)
- There are no "benefits" such as bonuses, pension, healthcare, training, etc
- In general you can be fired more quickly than a permanent staff so there is a "risk premium" for taking on a less stable job

Can you please comment on how stable a contract job generally is? Have you heard of contracts being scrapped and if so how often does it happen.
Thanks.

While the points lid down by Goldfish ara valid, I am curious to know what GENERALLY happens in IT industry with the investment banks?
Are the contract jobs axed frequently. I admit that they are the first to be axed, but in a normal market scenario, what happens.
Thanks
