Hi Valerie, I am in the same boat, I was a project manager at Microsoft and just got laid off last week. My top priority has been networking, ask your colleagues/managers for references or to write recommendation on LinkedIn, if you don’t have anyone to ask from your team reach out to the community on yammer see if there is another job you are able to transfer internally and ask for referrals! I think it’s incredibly important to have support from your community, feel free to dm me if you want to connect!

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
