Need some advice. Would you take a contract role for a big tech company? Went through a full cycle of interviews but another candidate was selected for the role. The senior manager then emailed me directly asking if I was interested in a contract position. Not sure what to do….

A lot of times contractors end up just being a holding place for good candidates while a new position is made for them

It might be if payment etc make sense. It might be good to ask clarifying questions like will this role turn to a permanent position, etc.
