Honestly I would second the idea of just joining a company as an FTE (full time employee). Find a place you really like, interview them at least as much as they interview you, and probably say "no" to 5-10 companies before signing on with one of them. Or maybe just join your favorite client full-time if there's one that would work.
Give it a shot for a year, you might like it. (source: have freelanced/founded, never thought I'd like working for others).
- double0jimb0 9y agoFTE stands for ‘full time equivalent’ http://smallbusiness.chron.com/calculate-fte-742.html http://smallbusiness.chron.com/calculate-fte-742.html
- dragonwriter 9y agoIt's frequently used to mean “Full Time Employee” (distinct from both a part timer and a contractor), probably originally by people who have overheard the HR speak and misunderstood what it is referring to, but the use seems to be established on its own at this point.
- Zeebrommer 9y agoThat's a shame because it's pretty useful to say e.g. you're in a 15 FTE company with about 20 colleagues.
