Hello!

Can you put this into context for us please?

Please give us the sentence in which you came across it, and maybe one or two which lead up to that.

Great short-term job. "Gig" originally meant, I believe, a booking for musicians. It now just means a job, typically a temporary one. It can be used to refer to a particular assignment within the context of long-term employment.

In this context, sweet means desirable, advantageous, profitable,...maybe better than the average job one normally.
