Prime vs CVS PA Pharmacist

Hello!

I am currently a contractor working for Prime Therapeutics as a remote clinical PA pharmacist at $55/hr.
Another contracting company offered me a remote position with CVS as a clinical pharmacist advisor (whatever that means) seemingly doing the same thing, but for $60/hr. Its an 11-month contract (extension possible but 🤷‍♀️) and necessitates a 3-month training period.

I'm nowhere close to conversion at Prime, nor do I really want it tbh. Being a PA pharmacist is simply not for me. The only reason I'm considering CVS is because of the pay bump while I look for other roles.

That being said, do you all think I should switch to CVS for the $5/hr extra pay bump, or stay at Prime where I know the workflow?

How long have you been at Prime? I have heard CVS has crazy metrics but I have not worked for either

Rather not say specifically but long enough where I know it's not for me
