Has anyone worked with the contracting agency Apex Systems? Have a couple offers with them to be a contractor for BoA and Wells Fargo as a Business Data Analyst.

Positions are both for 76/hour (~160k), hours worked, hours paid (aka no PTO), hybrid (3/2).

Currently in fintech (on tax team) and want to break out of tax. Total comp is ~135k, unlimited PTO, fully WFH.

Any insight is appreciated!

Would need to keep in mind that as a contractor you have to pay self-employment taxes so the $76/hour (~$158k with a full year 40hr/week) may actually be slightly less than your current comp with the additional taxes. Not to mention the additional cost of health insurance and the other benefits you usually give up when going into contractor work.

Ah okay, much better result for you then. Either way, could be a great way out of tax since that can be a very difficult hole to dig out of. Congrats in advance!

Is it contract to hire or just contracting

Senior engineer making 135k and I was offered a promotion to engineering manager after completing a development plan. Near the end of the plan and I expect compensation talks to start soon. Based on some research around Boston and my role in the company, I feel 165k plus 10-15% bonus is fair. Nonetheless, first time going through something like this and asking for thoughts and comments. Thanks!

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
