Has anyone on here made the move from BIG 4/MBB into Contracting.

If so,
What level did you leave BIG4/MBB?
What is your day rate?
What are the pros and cons?

Briefly in 2018 - Big 4 SA to a 6-month contract. Day rate was £650 w/expenses included for a technology delivery programme. Pros - 1. Serious cash compared to the SA rate. Made twice my annual salary in 6 months. 2. I was poached by a contractor we used in Big 4 so was a very natural progression and he helped with tax etc. Cons - knowing that the programme could be cancelled and I'd be quickly out of a job. Which was the case shortly after the 6-month stint ended due to Covid and retail decline. But by that time I had already gone back to a boutique
