Anyone ever leave a FTE job with full benefits for a 1 year contract? I'm hoping to avoid future regrets - am definitely burned out and under-comped at my current position and we've been losing team members almost every week to greener pastures. I've been at the same place since I started in tech, from an intern to a PM, 6 YOE. Currently managing a peer (!) and reporting to a VP. The contract is for a company I'm interested in working for, but no conversion guarantees and I'm nervous. Stories?

I made the switch and I was so grateful that I did! I ended up not getting an FTE after the contract role but I was able to snag another higher paying gig because of my experience at the company

I switched and it was a great decision. I converted to an FTE role at the company less than 6 months into the one-year contract. If you work hard and perform your best you'll get rewarded either by the company or by another opportunity
