There is an opportunity which is a 6 month contracting gig with PWC working with a large US bank remotely in US. The director tried to sell it to me that there might be oppportunities at the end of the 6 months with PWC or the bank because it is a big project - but it would be a big risk because I might not have anything in 6 months time and be back in the same position as I am now which is unemployed. I have a full time offer in industry in another country away from family. Thoughts?

What do you value more?

Do not count on any “might be opportunities” at the end of the contract unless you have a written offer.

Honestly need more info to give a valuable suggestion such as what countries, is TC approximately equal, why do you want to stay with family, etc. based on what you‘ve given, I’d probably take the 6-month gig and start applying to other jobs on the side assuming all else is the same

That’s a good suggestion but I have been applying for jobs for 2 years and not got anything. That’s why I am looking to go back to my home city London, UK.
