Tough call. You need to make the best choice for yourself. In this market, take whatever pays the bills today and keep looking for the long term job as you fulfill the contract gig. If you handle your notice professionally and gracefully, no bridges will be burnt. Good luck!
You don’t have to include everything in detail on a résumé. If you feel this would hurt future opportunities and it’s only a few months , let it be a “professional development” gap and during interviews , talk about how you enhanced other skills while also holding a job to keep you financially stable- but do actually do some professional development work like course on Coursera or a certificate program or something .
Hope this helps !
This is extremely helpful in interview answers! Thank you so much for this information. Its awkward saying you work in a restaurant but are looking for higher level employment. Its really hard to get places to take your interest seriously when they look down at your current position. You've given an excellent way to explain the thought process with supporting yourself while you find other work. Thank you again!
Based on what you've said, I doubt the actual work will be 2+ levels down. Companies are gaslighting right now to get lowered rates and more for their money. That said, there's nothing wrong with taking the job if it would be beneficial. It's called a survival job and most everyone has a version of this at some point... careers are long and once you hit a certain career level you're higher paid. As a result, it's a very rare person and career trajectory that never faces any ebbs and flows. Anyone hiring you will know this and understand. Also, a contract position is just that. It's a contract or consulting gig and in general titles don't mean as much/are more flat. Position it as a consulting role and focus on the outcomes you produced in your interviews and you'll be fine. Congrats on the new gig!
