Provisional employment only makes sense if you work remotely and have full benefits (esp. healthcare). Moving is costly.

A committed or indefinite term of employment is itself a benefit, so if you're going to work on a temporary basis you should expect contractor returns, not FTE comp; revise your baseline up 150%-200%.

Nobody does this, of course, but then provisional employment is a silly idea to begin with.
