That's not what we've seen. For example, one of our customers raised salary bands across their entire software division to accommodate the salary demands of the contractors they wanted to convert to salaried.
In most cases companies have a ball park salary in mind for the position, so when it comes time to convert there is some room for negotiation, but no surprises.
Companies are so desperate for good software engineers that they aren't going to let a good dev go after several months on contract in order to low-ball you and save a few thousand dollars.
- thedufer 6y agoSorry, your pitch to clients is "throw away all of your leverage (existing job, unemployment qualification, health insurance, etc) to contract for a few months and then you'll get a great fulltime offer"? That's...deeply implausible. I'm almost willing to believe this works for people who absolutely are unable to pass any sort of interview, but in that case aren't they still in trouble? How does a company decide who to bring on for the contract? Surely you can't replace the interview process with this.
