Contract position (1-2m) as HF Analyst with top BB. Take?

Would you leave your current perm FT position at a non IB/HF/PE role if you were offered this new position? Especially if you were looking to break in?

I feel like this could be a fantastic opportunity, however I'm pretty risk averse, and 1-2 months is nothing...It's a tough decision. I'm not sure if the BB would extend an offer or not. I'd at least walk away with a preftigious name.

Does anyone have any experience with anything like this?
