[quote=Anonymous]I do accounting and finance consulting.  Generally my assignments pay in the mid-50s to mid-60s per hour and as most clients demand a lot of hours, the compensation is very good.  Recently I came across a $45/hour situation that will go for about six months.  Multiply the lower comp by 50+ hours/week of work and it adds up.  I can still make it, but not in my usual style.

My concern is that projects, as well as other economic activity, is really slowing down because of the Presidential election and fiscal cliff expected in January 13.  Just look at the unemployment rate going up in most states.

So what would you do?  I can wait after Labor Day and look for something else or take this and start now.  One thing:  I am very devoted to my clients and cannot leave until a project is done.  It is bad for them and would hurt my reputation so I have to really make a commitment.  What I am caught in is a bird in the hand, two in the bush dilemma.  But my biggest concern is the economy tanking through the rest of the year.[/quote]
