What would you choose? FTE in Amazon with 20LPA Total compensation(no hike for 4 years) or a contractor role in a non-FAANG retail giant with 25LPA fixed?

Hey guys, I have actually joined the contract role last monday. Background- I had left Amazon in Feb because of poor work culture and was looking for a better opportunity since long. But then job market suddenly dipped and this is what I got after so many rejections. I had no other option.

Can you please tell why contract role is bad compared to FTE apart from job security. I thought this will provide me opportunity to work on different kind of tools and projects.

They’re providing medical and life insurance. And why does it negatively impact the resume. Few other comments said the same thing. Whereas on google, I read it’s better than FTEs as you get to work on different type of projects and tools

Can you please tell, in your opinion, the cons of it?

Your TC seems quite less.

@Data Engineer 1 If they are SDE1 at Amazon, their TC for 1 year would be around 25-35 LPA including every component (stocks, bonuses etc). This is after the recent corrections they did, previously it was bit less than this.
The higher amount 30-35 is only for experienced (2+ YOE) people who got down levelled during interviews otherwise it will be between 25-30.

I have seen people being hired as SDE1 even at 4 YOE, and SDE2 at 2 YOE and of course the latter earns higher. So compensation is completely dependent on position offered.
SDE2 is where the salary starts hiking way too fast, especially compared to other companies who offer competitive salary to SDE1 but not to higher roles. Minimum I've seen for SDE2 at Amazon is ~45 LPA TC, and maximum around 90 LPA.

No contractor role. Your resume won't make it to the next round going ahead.

Why though? Won’t it provide me more opportunities to work on diverse projects?

Amazon pays this low?

Please update how it goes..i also have thought about contract roles but always everyone tells against it..

That what itoo thought..kind of back door entry to clients will be there if we are good...can you tell more about the contract agency

FT role always priority

Maxed out Roth IRA contributions when I wasn't eligible for 2021 (got a salary bump mid year). Do I need to recharacterize? It's a very small account that's been open for only two years. That's the only IRA account I own. Do I need to open a traditional IRA and roll over 6k + realized gains into that account and keep the Roth IRA. So confused how this works and got conflicting information from Merrill.
