I’ve started looking at jobs the same way companies look at us, like it’s a temporary arrangement, not some long-term loyalty pact. I show up, do the work, get what I need out of the role, and quietly prepare for whatever comes next. Getting too comfortable is how you get burned. If something better comes along, you move on without guilt. That’s basically the contractor mindset: stay sharp, stay flexible, and always be ready for the next opportunity instead of assuming any company is going to look out for you.
