For me, it was 2nd year associate. You aren’t running the numbers yourself, but you may have a really junior analyst on it that requires a lot of attention. Plus you have to focus on quarterbacking the deal and structuring. It felt like two jobs

Second year Associate. It's the worst.

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.
