Let your manager know about the offer and ask if you can convert to FTE at Google
Yeah? So you don’t think TVC is just secure enough? I’m renewed for another year so wonder if it just ends up being a wash with either position
Former TVC here, even if pay is the same, compare benefits such as health insurance, 401K etc. Don’t neglect those.
well do u plan to take time off lol
ppl managed it by taking time off & forgoing the pay
+ following as a current TVC too. note that i recently went through the official hiring process (applied externally with a referral), was up against >10 candidates in the 1st round and got cut lol. so being a TVC doesn't really give much of an edge
Contractors always make less money than FTEs, even if the salary is the same, because you’re missing out on the FTE benefits - like paid time off, profit sharing, 401k matching, employee stock purchase programs, and better healthcare benefits.
