Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

I think you are totally within your right to renegotiate the terms now that they want to hire you permanently. I would frame it in terms of market rates and your contributions/expertise and go in confident.
Absolutely reasonable to bring it up. You’re delivering real value, and if the client wants to keep you, your firm benefits from finding a middle ground. I’ve seen friends renegotiate their rates this way, especially if they’ve built strong client relationships.
I would bring it up and try to negotiate so you have market rate for your salary - I think that’s totally reasonable to bring up
