Does anyone know how contracting at Facebook is compared to Google? Currently a contractor at Google and from my time here, I know the manager defines the experience (old manager I had was great, new manager I was moved to was not). Wondering what the experience is as Facebook, are they treated as second class citizens there as well?
Try and get a FTE somewhere instead of contracting job. It will be beneficial in long term.
Why? And how is it much different?
Multiple reasons. Top one I would say is quality of work. Contractors generally do "shit" work. Don't get me wrong on this, but FTEs get much better projects and learnings than contractors. Contractors are mainly used to work on stuff not critical to the company. You can always get some experience as FTE somewhere else and apply as FTE at G/FB or any other company you like or wish to join.
