Hello, depending on where you are financially I would suggest to try out non profits, the pay isn't what you get from tech but they struggle to hire for tech positions and end up being taken advantage of by consulting firms. Your years of experience would be of great help to them.

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

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.
