Life is short. Hindsight is 2020. There’s no such thing as a stable job.

Following, am interested as well

Lmao same ^

Are you so sure it’s stable though?

I'd like to think so since it's a very big client that's still doing business even during these times.

But, you just don't know...

I’m in the exact same situation. But I think my priority is my family and all the people I help during this time. So I’m staying put.

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route. How much of being an Analyst at a smaller IB is technical skill heavy coming into the role? I hold my 7, 66, 24, and am not worried about getting the 79. Any input for how realistic this is? When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.

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.
