I just got hired as a contract to potentially full time position.

They don’t provide benefits in the position. Am I better off just working for them as a contractor??

It’s good for a stop gap job if you need it. No reason to be loyal on a contract. Get the cash flow, experience, and keep looking.

Don’t count on a contract role for sure converting to full time, even when they frame it that way. Just assume it’s temporary, but hope for the best.

I definitely get that. The only uncertainty is we can’t predict the future and guarantee they’ll offer FTE. Is there a FTE role there now that you’re qualified for? If so, you have an ‘in’ so ask about it.

It depends on what you want. Contracts allow you to have other clients and you should be able to do what is best for you since they don’t offer you benefits

They are a bit of a start up I’d say (2 years I think since created). Do you think this may also be why that haven’t established a benefits package of some sort? The pay is really nice for what I do so I really don’t mind that there’s no benefits I gusss but still. I’m just curious on others thoughts

I wouldn’t think so because before your contract is up.. they’ll most likely end your contract without a notice.

Last week I had to explain to my child what “politics” (as in office politics) is. My child is going to a new high school and wants to play volleyball. There was a 3 day open “tryout” for incoming freshman for 2 teams. After the first day, she noticed that
1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
