I have an opportunity to leave consulting and go to industry in a 100% WFH role (this is what I’m looking for). Problem is, it’s a contract to hire position. My hourly rate as the contractor would be about $40k more per year, but no PTO and the health, dental, and vision would be through TEKsystems (the recruiter). I’m tempted to chase the money but somewhat concerned about being a contractor. Anyone have any experience with this?

Started my first job out of college ~1month ago and am only at around 50% utilization. Before I fully ramp up, what would be some good skills or certs to work towards? I’m working for my firms management/tech practice and am also open to expanding my coding skills (currently pretty basic)

Hired as SA1. if my utilization is low for round table but I’ve gotten good Snapshots will I go up to SA2 or SA1B, which I don’t want of course.
