I’ve worked for a big tech company as a contractor and I would generally not recommend it over something permanent. Even if the money might be pretty good, there can often be a sort of “looking down” on people you work with that are FTEs there. Overall, you could be doing the same work if not more and building something cool but at the end of the day they don’t want your name on anything and they cast you off.

But that is only from the experience I personally had.

Looking for advice.

started a new PM role 4 weeks ago only to realise that the entire PM function is done by various other people inside the department. I have tried bringing up the discussion with my line manager without making it into a complaint (since i’m so new, and i want to be flexible) but i’m getting the impression that even my manager doesn’t know what a PM is or does. (He asked me if the roadmap should sit with the scrum master amongst other comments)

Thoughts of approach?

I applied for and was screened by HR for a Director position. It wasn't a good fit but I was passed over to another VP. I had a phone interview with that VP which went very well. He expressed interest in creating a Director level role for me based on my experience and interests. I received feedback via a 3rd-party recruiter that the company is in the process of creating a req. and will bring me on-site for another interview. Problem: They changed the level to Principal Eng. What should I do?

After 7 rounds of interviews My recruiter said, “We will get back to you with an update as soon as we finished interviews with other candidates and debriefed.” Is that a bad sign?
