Basically, I currently work in a digital cinema company as a helpdesk for them and the job pays ok but is pretty stable as my colleagues have all been there for years. I have an interview soon for a FAANG company to be on their IT Helpdesk. It’s a job that will give me a lot of good experience, but it is a 6 month contract with potential to renew and continue. The recruiter basically snuck the contract portion in after scheduling my interview.

Both jobs include benefits thankfully the only thing that is stopping me from the FAANG job is just that it’s contracted but the experience would be great.

Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

TLDR: Would you leave your fully employed job for a contracting opportunity.
