How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

it can go two ways:
1) ask for more once offered because it's full time and this is your final chance to have a higher starting salary until promotion.
2) they may lower or meet your contract pay because you'll be getting benefits, etc. fight for your desired salary. if they kept you and want to convert you, the ball is in your court to at least negotiate 5-10k + (or more depending on the role/offer)

when I work contract I always ask for more than offered to accommodate health insurance (state) and savings. Helps in either scenario above.

I've worked a few contract roles in the past and this helped me out.

Also, ask for paid holidays! Especially if you're working with an agency.

Do recruiting companies give you paid holidays when you’re under contract with them on W2 for another company?

It's going to depend on whether your current recruitment company offers you benefits or not really. If they do, the offer will probably be similar. If not, sometimes they low-ball bc of the benefits package and etc. You can always still negotiate but it's all contingent upon how well they think you did in the contractor role and if they employer wants to hire you of course.
