Generally as long as Gig.2 rate is not at the bottom of my scale I would go for the more relaxed gig.
But in this case, the red light is the cost cutting, meaning that there will be less chance of extension and risk of cutting the initial contract short. As long as Gig.1 has better prospects in that regard I would go for Gig.1 in this specific case.Comment

Gig 2 decided to drop me and complete the project internally - or that's what they said. Gutted
Gig 1 is happy they have me for longer....Comment
