Ask if it’s for contract (project-based) or for a new client.

If it’s contract for a specific project, then it’s highly unlikely that it will turn into anything permanent. If it’s to get a body in while they look for a full time person, then it is much more likely.

When I work with a great freelancer , I fight hard to get them hired. If you out perform other team members, anything is fair game.

I probably should have choosen USI

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments

Welcome to SAP SuccessFactors Bowl!

Now I’m leaving the firm and pursuing another opportunity and staying in the same city. Since he’ll no longer be my boss, is there a way to find out if my feeling was correct? How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)
