Would you stay in the current temp role or take the new contract?

I am currently on a temp contract and get a day rate of £192 for 3 days a week. The journey is around 30 mins from home. The job is mind numbingly boring and is unlikely to last for more than 6 months due to low funding.

I have been offered another contract for 2 days a week at £210 per day. Journey is around 1 hour from home. The job itself is more inline with what I have done previously and there is a strong possibility my hours could increase after 6 months.

What would you do? Stay at the current role or leave to the new role?

Can't you do both?

@HotLikePapaJohns I will ask but the reason why I haven’t is because the new job needs me on Wednesday and Friday and the current role - I work Monday - Wednesday.

I would negotiate for one of them to change one of the days

Ask for thursdays and fridays, wednesday and friday doesn't leave you with much flexibility.
