As someone else said, if you back yourself to get something else later then it could be the right move.
Only thing I'd be concerned about is the idea that they snuck the contract thing in - it would depend exactly what you mean by that, but if they were trying to conceal it from you then that might be a bad sign. If it was just a miscommunication or whatever, then hopefully all good.
Good luck, whatever you do!
PS - forgot to say that I quit a permanent job to go freelance and it's been a big improvement in my life. I work from home, make a bit more money, and can be much more flexible. Downside is less income security, and as a result less favourable terms on things like mortgages. Also, I have been lucky that I basically get regular work from a small agency and have done for a number of years, so I rarely need to go hustling for clients.
Yeah the recruiter mis communicated it. But the company itself brought it up first thing in the interview before. I actually interviewed last month but was scared of the contract . Now they reached out to me again and I figured Iβd at least take th interview as practice.
After thinking and looking at my finances I could prolly be safe if the contract ends quickly.
Nice one, sounds like you're all over it π
Good luck!
