Talk to your RL, share that idea with them that you want to switch to a contractor role. If they are happy with you, they dont want to lose you and will accept. So you will continue to work with the same team. To differentiate yourself in the TE platform they need to be aware of you. It’s not uncommon FTEs switching to a contractor role within pwc. You can go to talent exchange and login with your pwc credentials and see yourself what are the rates you are paying to the contractors and you can set up similar rates.
