What would you do?

(Or really this is just me typing out loud. )

Currently 6 years at job A at 100K and 10K annual bonus but lil to no upward mobility. It's safe if not going anywhere.

Recruiter reached out regarding Job B at 130K with greater advancement potential but it starts out at 6 Months Contract to Hire per the agency contract. No bonus, benefits adequate by comparison. There is no guarantee to go full time.

Interview just for practice?

Never hurts to take a call or interview for the practice

I would definitely interview and see what they have to say. 1) it is good practice and 2) I would also nuture this new relationship with the recruiter.

You never know when you might get laid off without notice, and it would be terrible to be starting from scratch with no interview practice and no recruiter to contact.

That actually happened to me several years ago. I got laid off after I got an exemplary perf review and a nice raise. I did not have a current resume or anything. It worked out for me, but it was a painful lesson at the time. Now, I keep everything current and periodically network, etc.

Interview. If you get an offer you can use it as leverage for a pay increase at Job A if you don’t really want to leave.

Yes, interview and you just may like it and decide to take it though it's a contract job. But it's pays more ( though you will have to get your own insurance etc.) You never know when it could let to a permanent position.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
