So I’ve been working for employers all my life and was with my previous employer for 14 years. I had a great salary (a bit more than 7K brutto), car and all the benefits.
Microsoft bought us and started scrapping roles. Mine was affected. Now i’m working for another employer for 3400€ brutto also with a car. Most of the time my salary isn’t enough and I need to pitch in from my savings (although the missus earns now what I had before). daycare is a big cost that will end in
september.

Now have the opportunity to start a(hopefully) long contract for 550€ a day.

question is: should I do it? I don’t think I’ll earn more than what I have now (2300net) if I optimize everything?

btw I’m 50 if that matters.
