Anyone have any luck asking for a full-time role to be switched to freelance-to-FT, while interviewing? When is the best time to propose it, after the offer?

Take the FT. Junior Freelancers don’t have a high success rate. I know because I did that.

smart

I think that depends on just how junior you are. Have you got relevant experience? Is your book really good? Are they desperate to get you onboard or are you doing the selling? All of those things will signal how much leverage you have during the negotiation.

Also, depending on the agency this may come out of different financial buckets. If they have approval for a FT hire, they may risk that headcount approval by doing freelance to full time.

Then they proceeded with the technical rounds and finally HR round was also cleared. They asked me to wait for the offer letter as they required approval from business. After a week when I got no updates on the offer letter i texted them asking about the same. They replied me on the text that the business did not gave approval for the offer.
