Began interview process for 6 month contract role. The initial hourly pay seems low. If I was applying for this role as a full time associate, I would be asking double based on the job description. Do contractors generally make less, or is it the market? Also wondering if there's room to negotiate. I wouldn't be asking for double, but maybe 25% more. Was found through an external recruiter.

Contracting market is slow. How many years of experience you have and How much hourly were you expecting?

I have 18 yrs experience. Looking tor a FT position, but SF reached out about this contract position, and I'm worried there's more supply than demand for my role right now. I don't technically have a going rate as I've never contracted before, but if I convert their hourly rate to my recent salary, it's about 40k less. I thought contract roles typically paid more.

It’s happening across all of tech. I’ve been quoted well below my current base & know friends in Data Analytics and Engineering facing the same. If you have the opportunity to hold out for the same pay or better do that. If you just need a job or visa sponsorship consider it, but with SF know that you won’t get any sufficient raise ever. It’s not you, it’s them. You’re definitely qualified for fair compensation. Do your best to negotiate if you have the energy.

I set up my boss to take on a client that I planned to steal from her. She thought she was using me but I was using her. When she asked me to prepare statements of work, I drafted it with my resume in mind. When she asked me to set pricing, I priced it at my desired salary. When she pawned the work off to me, I nonchalantly took point. Then slowly and surely, I made myself indispensable to the client. I can’t wait to tell her that the foundation’s offer is priced above her salary. Checkmate.
