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.

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

Adverse selection is a huge issue in trading. You never have perfect information and your decision won’t be perfect for the outcome. This usually means you’re too small in winners and too large in losers.

As markets crash we’re seeing something similar. People are ignoring bad outcomes when they should be working that much harder to protect previous gains and find new ideas. Lower traffic in this thread is a symptom of this phenomenon. Don’t quit just as the value of incremental effort ramps.
