Hi hvert, thanks for replying to my post. Yes, it's a tough choice. Both have pros and cons. I've done temp work for so long now, that my gut tells me to go with the higher paying temp job, for the two pros: higher hourly wage, longer length of assignment.

I once temped at great company for two years, where I filled in for the receptionist every time she went on vacation. Everyone there liked me, except for the hiring manager. He was creepy and pervy and didn't like the fact that I wouldn't let him sexually harass me. He would say something inappropriate, which I would report to the company president's assistant. This happened frequently. He was never fired either. He sexually harassed all the women at that company. Maybe I dodged a bullet not being hired there.

Another temp job at a great company ended when I asked for more pay from the account manager who negotiated my hourly wage. I was immediately by the client (whoops).

So, in this case if i stay at Temp Job A, it will be lousy pay; force me to work a second night job 7 days a week which will be hell to deal with, with no guarantee given to me by the client supervisor of my fate after 4 months there. And, the position I would be hired for, doesn't pay much above what I make hourly. So, while I would be happier, I'd still be poor as dirt if I stay at Temp Job A.
