Received an offer for 6 month consulting opportunity at PwC for a long term project that will require extensions making 50k above my current Full-time role. They are also offering fully remote and my current role is expecting us to return 4 days/ week in office. Need some advice. This role with PWC also aligns very well with my product background but i have never done consulting, just very familiar with it.

From what I understand the turn around rate to get hired full time is about 90% after a year 1/2

Is there an opportunity to move to perm once the contract is over? That would be the only concern I would have. Other than that, it sounds like a golden opportunity!

Yes they offer perm after a year 1/2 or so. I was informed almost 90% of consultants have been converted.
