Is hiring a freelancer ever a trial run before offering a full time position? Saw that a company I love has FT openings but was reached out to by a recruiter about a freelance position.

If they already know and like you it def makes them more comfortable with committing to you full time.

Sometimes. We’ve tried to “convert” freelances to full time on several occasions. But if it’s not you’ve already started to build a relationship with those that do the hiring when they are looking for full time

I guess I’m wondering why they didn’t reach out to me about the full time position instead

1YOE medical device NPI Lead looking for salary perspective

Mechanical engineering grad, joined a medical device startup that I had done co-ops at. 8mo into full-time, pivoted from engineering into more of an operations role doing new product introduction (NPI), now with 3 direct reports.

The combination of startup+medical device+NPI seems very unique and I'm struggling to find salary comparables. Currently making 75k but it feels very low given my new responsibility and impact. Any advice?

I interviewed at this company and everyone seemed to really like me and were moving a lightning speed. I then met the VP of finance and apparently he said they may needed someone with more experience but hiring manager thought I was a great fit . I didn’t hear anything for a few days and then last Thursday they asked me to submit my references, (Friday they called) Since then, it’s been a week and haven’t heard anything. I haven’t received an offer letter not a rejection email. Im so confused.

I have received two offers from great companies. One is a senior analyst role in the advertising industry and another is a Product manager role in the risk industry. I have 1-2 years of exp as an analyst.
The salary, benefits for both are same. I’m looking for a role that has tech and strategy designing as well and both the roles offer this.
My long term goal is to be a product manager but I want to be on the tech side as well. How do evaluate the offers?

Need some advice as I already have an offer from EY but my other interviews are not over yet. I have ongoing interviews with Microsoft, Twilio and Revolut. They are trying to fasten up the process but I believe it might take another 7-10 days time.

On the other hand, HR in EY is asking to make a decision urgently, which is understandable as they have already waited for 3 days now.

Any suggestions?
