I echo Panama Jack's advice. In 2003 I flew for a Middle Eastern company as a contract pilot (FO), and although seeing that part of the world was a great experience, I learned from a number of pilots who for many years have flown on contracts worldwide , that one of the rules of contract flying is to not do it as a First Officer.
For the most part upgrades are non-existing in contract flying unless specifically stated in the contract terms. I'm sure that there are exceptions to this rule but consideration of one's long term goals is in order before accepting any flying contract.
