Hey there, I used to compare travel contracts mostly by weekly pay, but over time I realized there’s a lot more that matters. Housing costs, location, schedule, benefits, licensing support, and even how responsive your recruiter is can completely change the experience. A slightly lower-paying contract can sometimes be the better deal overall. I’ve found https://tlcallied.com/ useful for exploring allied health opportunities and getting support with things like housing and licensing. My advice is to compare the whole package, not just the number at the top.
Housing is a big one for me. A higher weekly rate doesn’t mean much if short-term rent in that city eats up most of the difference. I always check local housing prices before getting too excited about an offer.

I’d add schedule and location to the list. Having a reasonable commute and shifts that work for you can make a huge difference over 13 weeks. Pay matters, but quality of life does too.
