4 YOE DevOps/SRE engineer here and I’m stuck in a risky career situation. Need advice from people who have handled delayed onboarding / contract vs full-time tradeoffs.

Current situation:

Offer 1

  • 19 LPA fixed
  • 1 year contract role
  • Joining on 25 May
  • Offer already confirmed
  • Cant exit for 2 month after joining

Offer 2 – PwC AC

  • 20 LPA fixed
  • Senior Associate role (full-time)
  • Offer letter was already released initially

Issue:
PwC recruiter informed me there was a Workday/application issue due to which they could not continue BGV/onboarding on the original application. They asked me to reapply using a recruiter-generated personalized link for the same position and promised a revised offer letter with same compensation.

Current status:

  • Old application → shows “Candidate Withdrawn”
  • New application → “In Progress”
  • Recruiter says it is a technical/internal workflow issue

My concern:
My LWD is already 22 May, so I’m entering a risky gap period now.

Question for experienced folks:

  • Have you seen PwC AC recreate applications like this due to Workday issues?
  • Is this usually genuine or a red flag?
  • Would you wait a few more days for a full-time Big4 role or safely join the 1-year contract role first?
  • In contact with PWC Hr she is saying you will get today from 2 days but still not received revised offer letter

Would appreciate practical advice from people who have faced similar onboarding delays.
Please suggest should I take 1 year contract role or risk and wait for PWC ac
