However, come end 2022 I also know of good workers whose contract not renewed in 2023 due to budget constraints - excuse given by the bosses.

In the event you get converted to perm, you get to apply for internal mobility (aka department transfer) after 2 years of working in your current role where i heard your boss cannot stop you, also depends on job availability. I also know of those who manage to transfer <2 year, but I think you need the approval of your bosses for this (not 100% sure how).

All the best for your application.
