Contract work or permanent, which would you take? - 4 months and counting

I got a contract offer for 6 months as a call-centre agent and I am unsure whether to accept. It has been a long 4 weeks. I have 4 months of savings left. Did a contract become permanent?

I took a contract and it converted after four months. The time also kept my skills current.

Ask about extension likelihood and whether the team has hired contractors before.
