๐.... I have received a verbal offer from a recruiter. Is it a better switch from jpm to capital one as contract to hire?
Note: contract to hire have it's ranges. Here its a 3 months contract to hire. In some places it's 3 months while in others contract might be 6 months long, and the rest contacts may be longer than a year.
I'll get a bit of a raise that's for sure but I am not sure if it's a risky business to leave a full-time job and get a contract to hire anywhere. What do you guys think?

NO!
NO!
FUCK-NO!!
Contract workers (or disposable workforce as amazon calls them) are viewed very badly when you put yourself in the market after 1 year..
Coming in as a contractor is not a good way to get a full time role. Iโve seen far more contractors get let go than converted.
If youโre passing the bar for a contractor position, you should see how much farther you need to go for a direct hire and put your energy into that.
