A recruiter from a technical agency reached out for a remote data engineer position at @Genentech (contract with no benefits). I am currently a FTE hybrid Merck employee. What would be reasonable pay for this and what is the culture like for contractors at Genentech?

Pay - Aim for at least 25-50% higher than the full time pay you’ll take. You’ll be responsible for your own insurance and won’t get PTO, 401k match, etc

Generally speaking, when I am offered a contract role, I would require 33% or more compensation due to not being paid for time off and losing out of benefits, bonus, etc. I figure 15% is for the bonus, ~15% for time off and unpaid holidays.

Excellent advice, not much to add except that I'd be wary of taking a contract role at the moment. They will be the first to go if there are layoffs.

I wouldn't suggest taking contract job by leaving full time job. Unless your current env is toxic and you want to get out asap. If you really want to, then aim for 30-40% higher than FT pay as others are saying.

Genentech is a great company to work for. A large portion of the workforce are contractors and they treat you the same as the FTE.

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

I've 6+ yrs experience (mobile dev.)

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.

Ok if the work environment is toxic and the manager totally unsupportive ... And eventually you leave the job ... During interviews when the HR asks you why did you leave the job ? What should be the answer ? I have often seen / heard that you should never badmouth your boss or company no matter how bad the situation was at work ? Then what should be the answer to this question ?

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).
