Leaving full-time role for big 4 contract work?
I graduated in 2019 with a masters in finance from an UK university, and a bachelors in economics. I just started a back-office role in a financial services firm a month ago, and have now been offered a 6 month contract with a big-4 firm in a data analytics role (a lot of the work is apparently corporate banking related - i.e. reading credit memos and ensuring loans are structured correctly - this is relevant because my hope is that I can spin it into experience to get a transaction services/corp fin role in the future).
The work seems far more interesting to me, but I’m worried that they won’t take me on full-time afterwards, and that leaving a role so quickly will reflect poorly on me in the future.
Has anyone here worked in similar roles, and were you offered a full-time contract? Worth the risk in the current economy?
Hey Accountant in Acct - Other, I think you deserve a response...heck, everyone does. We're listening, sorry about the delay ...my best guess at places on WSO that could help:
More suggestions...
Hope that helps.
Contract work, at any point in your career, is always risky. I think it requires the right attitude and outlook to survive in contract work and there's even some skill in being able to extend your contract or parlay your current contract into other contracts. If you have any trepidation - as opposed to excitement for the opportunity - then it might mean that it's not for you (and that' OK). I would pass on this since you're pretty early in your career. Maybe later on you will be better prepared to take these on but the time doesn't sound right at this moment for you.
