former contractor here, no worrying about perf/promo game, less bs meetings/trainings.

cons is less pay unless you’re a specialized expert, in which case could be higher pay. Less job stability because the reason to hire contractors might be because they’re unsure of project longevity.

Honeslty not a ton of pros. You get paid, that’s about it. Working as a TVC for Google doesn’t have a lot of value internally or really even externally, so it’s really just about whether the actual work you’d be doing is helpful for your career growth. Some folks make a really strong impression and manage to parlay that into a full time role, but that’s not the norm

Hello Guys,

I am in a super good position at Jellyfish as a Director with a good room in terms of growth. Great responsibilities, work life balance and I strongly love my job. However, there is an opportunity to join Google Dublin as an Agency Development Manager (level 4) with strong salary, new challenges, different role and responsibilities etc. I HAVE A STRONG DOUBT about a trade off: is better to have a strong margin of growth and a good position or join Google with the above conditions?

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K
