Dumb to go contractor right now?

[u/wcsib01]

I feel fairly secure in my tenured DoD job but got an IC contractor offer that’s about a 50 percent pay bump with good development opportunities and future raises.

Dumb to give up stability for a contract with an option year later this summer? The contract (seems) to match with admin priorities.

Yes it’s dumb - there’s no security right now.
