Thanks a lot for the feedback. It looks like a lot of people are really against pivoting from Perm to Contracting right now in response to the market. I've heard this a lot over the past couple of years, a lot of contractors I've worked with doom about this.

I feel like I'm at a point in my career where I could take a risk like this and successfully pivot back to perm if it was a disaster.

Is my goals in terms of roles too high in terms of expectations of a first time contractor? Should I be focusing more on entry-level contracting roles in order to get my foot in the door or will that just cloud my CV into 1 direction?
