Does anyone know which big finance companies are taking in contractors atm? It seems most firms are only looking for perms these days

Why would you want a contract position when you can get a perm? Genuinely don’t get that

Awesome. THank you for sharing this1

Pretty common right now. Companies don't want to commit to FT employees.

The easier way is to work with multiple recruiters. Usually, when I look for contractor work, it is difficult to find it on company portals, but different agencies would have those positions for you. Are you looking to be a contractor to get a higher rate or have it as a side gig?

I've had a few recruiters get in touch for contract positions so I think it might be ramping up a bit, maybe network on LinkedIn?

It might be position-specific. I'm looking for a new full time gig and everything I see is contracting.

Wells Fargo and bank of America at least are connecting data analyst type roles, several recruiters have reached out to me

Jpmc definitely hires contract, but it’s mostly contract to hire. Still… I guess you could do the contract and choose to end it vs apply for perm.

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up. Usually the requests I have come from my boss or for big projects we’d be working on. Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.

Hey!

I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!
