Salesforce can keep a contractor for up to two years in a single role before they have to hire them or release them. I had a five month contract that was extended twice to take me to a year in a half in a contractor role before I was hired.

A lot of Salesforcers started out as contractors—so I think it’s a great way to get your foot in at the company. I’d talk to the hiring manager about timelines and headcount if you’re concerned about the longevity of the role. Good luck!

That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business.

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money.

I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.
