Should I take a contract to hire offer from Disney?
$96/hr offer (~200 as salary). If I was a regular hire I would definitely take it, but worried since it is a contract (contract does have health insurance though).
Currently an analytics lead, offer is for Data Engineer.
Current TC: 115
YOE: 5

My first role out of college was at a startup (104K TC) then I took a contractor role at Meta (135K TC), then I converted to FTE at Meta (170K TC), then I got promoted at Meta (240K TC).
Being a contractor can be used as a stepping stone to convert to FTE and bolster your resume with a name brand if you play it right, but I wouldn’t really do it if you already have the resume to get competitive FTE offers. I’ll probably never choose a contractor role again.
Best advice would be to keep your LC skills sharp so you can ladder up your TC.
