Is anyone else noticing remote contract roles but very few remote FTE roles? My company has a rule for FTE to be in the office, but to get around this, they’ve started hiring more contractor roles that are remote. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

It makes sense… we can save money on benefits that a FTE would receive… in my office you can go 1099 or W-2… but if you’re 1099 you don’t receive any benefits and have to go to the open market for Health, Dental, Vision… you don’t receive any 401(k) matches, supplemental 401(k) or cash balance (pension)…

True, but it seems crazy that the contract roles would receive double what I’m receiving. I feel like you may as well hire FTE at that point but maybe that’s just me.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. It feels like some companies are using contractor roles as a workaround when their FTE policies are stricter. It’s odd because the work can clearly be done remotely, but the flexibility only seems to exist if you’re not a full-time employee.

Yeah it makes no sense to me. You’re hiring less loyal workers because they’re contractors just to get around the in-office policies…

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
