In fact my answer will be (both), but it's depend on the each contract benefits individually. Also the advantages of contract define what is my choice and how much I can gain more experience. What is more important is that it be a position where I can utilize and improve my skills. What is the environment that will be more suitable for me.

In case of good confidence the short term contract will be automatic renew for same period several times. same as presidential election extended periods4x4 till reach30-40 years in president position.

 

On the other hand, the long term contract may be quit off at any time as a result of contractor's willing or contractee's willing with the legal notice period.

 

That means nothing will give the security for job continuity untill Allah's support.

 

Whatever the opportunity you have gain, go through it and don't hesitate. It will be the best for you.

Short term always has high compensation basics and long term has extended allowances and promises.
