Does anyone know about Goldman Sachs' hiring process? They mentioned hiring me as a contractor with the possibility of transitioning to a full-time employee after six months. They said this is a faster way to bring people on board. Is that correct?

Hiring contractors is typically easier and quicker than hiring FTE especially at big companies. There’s no guarantee you’d get hired in, though.

Of course it's possible you can be fired from a contract role. There may be a condition in the contract that requires 30 days' notice or something, but contractors aren't guaranteed work throughout the duration of the contract.

A lot easier to terminate a contractor than an actual employee. Sounds like their way of testing you out first. Also doesn’t offer any benefits.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.
