I'm not sure about the benefits from Maxis. But as I mentioned a few times in here, there's nothing to lose even it is 2 years contract only. Work hard and hopefully, you'll be rewarded with a permanent position. Even if they decided not to extend your contract, the experience you have in your pocket is sufficient for you to land another job easily. Good luck and enjoy your new job

What are you majoring in? It depends on your interest too.
