The bridge job that pays the bills versus the role you actually want. Tell it the real choice you're stuck on and it lays out the case for each side, names what your own answers point toward, and flags what to settle before you commit. It won't decide for you, it just makes the trade-off legible.
THE BAR: TRADE-OFFS, NOT PEP TALKS
"The bridge pays the rent. The dream role pays the part of me that's been refreshing the careers page at 1am."
It weighs the safe paycheck against the role you actually want, then names what your own answers are pointing toward, plus what to settle before you sign. The more you tell it, the less generic the call. It won't decide for you, and it won't pretend it can.

Leaning bridge
With under two months of runway and a kid in the equation, the contract role buys time the final-round role can't promise yet.
For the bridge
•
It refills savings instead of draining them, so the dream-role decision isn't made under rent pressure.
•
A current paycheck reads better to the staff-PM hiring manager than a widening gap on the resume.
•
Contract work isn't exclusive. You keep the final-round process moving on evenings and calls.
For holding out
•
You said momentum matters most, and a new ramp can quietly eat the time you'd spend closing the staff role.
•
If the contract wants a six-month commit, walking after two gets awkward and burns a reference.
Decide this first
•
Confirm the contract has no non-compete or exclusivity that touches product roles.
•
Ask the dream role for a real timeline before you sign. Final rounds slip, and you can't eat momentum.
•
Get the contract's notice period in writing so an early exit doesn't cost you the reference.
