Question- if I join PWC as a contractor, what are the chances that after 6 months they bring me in as a full time employee?

50/50, either yes or no.

I think the odds are way less than 50/50 right now.

I don’t get any of these jokes and yes I am an accountant

They real question is why you'd ever want to do that in the first place. I worked for PwC as a FTE for almost ten years. I left and have picked up plenty of work on Talent Exchange (contract model) and have ended up making WAY more on a per hour basis and have more control over my schedule

I worked as a contractor for them. While it was nice to work with the company a few times on different projects, I agree. The pay rate is significantly better than working as a fte. I don’t see myself taking a job with any company on a permanent basis unless they were willing to match the pay rate. Although with all that said, I have seen pay rates which were equivalent to salary so if you’re finding something that’s equivalent in that manner I can see why it may be enticing

SM here - pickings are slim for open roles right now but I absolutely would bring in a high performing contractor to fill an empty role on my team.

Is it based on performance? Do they usually bring in their contractors

Idk I think as with any company it’s a mixture of both performance/fit and need. You can be great but if there’s no spots left then well they’ll just keep you in mind for other projects but won’t hire full time. Personal experience I’ve been on a few short term turned long term 1 year plus projects with them. Feedback wise I had gotten excellent reviews from each project and each of their clients. In fact I was also offered a job at each of their client’s. Did I get a job offer from PwC? No but I also know if I had it would have been a significant pay cut. Overall as contractor I enjoy working with them. It’s nice to have the exposure and the pay rate. Going permanent would mean increase in hours with a decrease in pay

Thinking about adding another person but unsure that we need an additional full time staff person. Recently heard an employee per every 350-400k of GDC (advisors included) was a good guideline.
