Temp-to-hire offer, worth it? - any advice?

A permanent role may come up, but the contract starts now. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have 5 months of savings left. Did a contract become permanent?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 5 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
