>>11596438I started out that way, not because I wanted to but because the company that wanted to hire me had a hiring freeze. I thought it was shit, I'm not sure why you want to do that but you can.
EPC companies will do that to some extent where they'll hire people to work on a project for only a few months or whatever. Generally they'll try to keep people and transfer them to other projects, but I guess you could decide to quit after a project. They can also be somewhat cyclical depending on whether they land enough contracts, it's pretty common for people to bounce back and forth between different EPCs.
People also do the extreme version of that in oil and gas, especially with oilfield service companies. Those companies offer huge salaries to work miserable hours in remote shitholes and then as soon as oil prices go down they lay off thousands of people. Apparently some people like that lifestyle and they'll work until they get burned out or laid off and then take a break for a while. They also do lots of rotating schedules where you work so many weeks on and then get so many weeks off, especially for offshore or the more remote and dangerous places.
