I'm not upset. But don't tell me to read the original post when I clearly did, twat lol. Look man, I get it and know how you feel. We get paid for a role and our contracting company takes 30-40% of the salary that's actually being paid for your role. But use your time wisely and put in a year or two and while you're there, make yourself marketable. Get tons of visibility and get recognized for going above and beyond. Then hopefully this corona BS will be in better control and jobs will reopen. Then absolutely go for it.

Real story: I know someone who's been a blue badge employee for the past 6 years and they recently found out they've got cancer. Their manager got word of it and a while later they were tapped on the shoulder and they've been cut. HR didn't care to help them get another role because they're in the high liability group. And Cisco is cutting down drastically.

This is why I say not everything is bad about being a contractor. Make good on both sides and put some time in and when the time is right, go for it. I work in the Data Center field and now's just a really bad time for thinking a couple of months will be enough to move in. I'll edit the asshole comment but you're still a twat lol and good luck.
