To renew or not to renew

Today, I got a message to send a letter of intent to the HR of my office. This is to show that I want to have my contract renewed. The thing is that I'm confused, as to if I really want that.



Something countless people, movies and books have taught me is that when put in a position like this it is better to make a list of Pros and Cons.


So here it is...


Pro on renewing my contract:
Another 5 months of getting a salary every 10th of the month.
I get to stay with my friends.
I get to enjoy the company of people I consider friends.
I'll possibly get a chance to redeem myself from the crap of a career I had during this contract.


Cons on renewing:
I have no way of knowing if they will be renewing my contract.
If ever they do I would be going through another repetitive cycle only relying on myself to make it different.
I get to see people I don't want to see.
I have to face the fact that I might get demoted and be stuck with a mediocre salary


Still breaking even but in order for me to make a decision I have to go back to the whole "Nothing is displaced until it's replaced." So maybe that'll be my decision. I will send it in but I will be looking for a better place to share my knowledge and spread whatever wings I have. 


Hopefully, I make the right choice.
