That's part of what makes this so enticing. Coworker who left along with her husband to do travel contracts are doing this one, and have a 2 bedroom apartment they'd be willing to share with me for $1k/mo plus half utilities walking distance from ucsd. So I'd be with people I know, working with people I enjoyed working with before and who can help me with the stuff for contract work.
Or buy myself a Ford Transit and an air mattress and live like the locals. Gym membership for showers, just need to find a place to park every day.
But its not gonna happen. Wife says no. I'm gonna keep pushing it. I wanted to go to Chicago when they built out Mccormick place for covids last year. 5k/wk for that too but they provided a hotel room to keep you isolated. Just floor and hotel, meals included. They never actually used it, but paid the 3 people I know who took the contracts.
Did find a 3mo contract on the east side of Indiana, about a 3 hr drive for $3500/wk. 3 days/wk. I'd just need a truck bed cap, sleep in my truck and come home once a week to shower n do laundry. Be a rough winter but I can deal with it for that kinda money. I asked for their recruiter to call me, need to get more info about insurance n stuff.
