The only reason you haven't been getting an alternative answer on here is because most of us are not anonymous and we all expect potential employers to read what we've written. | |

In software engineering, temporary jobs go to the job applicants who are willing to stay on permanently. Temporary jobs in software engineering are a way for a company to test a potential employee and not commit to him/her until the company is sure. Only in the rarest of cases, are they for a one-off software project that they know for sure is going to end. Also, you're assuming that company B is going to hire you for sure? How can you be so certain? Have they said as much? Putting all your eggs in one basket is just too risky. | |

| Sep 13, 2015 at 19:20 | comment | added | user1807 | Are you sure I should be explicit about the fact that I'm looking for other opportunities? I'm asking because being honest about this fact is the reason I'm without a job now :| | |
