I've been a TVC UX designer at Google for the last year and got an offer from Salesforce for a senior product designer. Now have a choice to stay on the contract with a possibility to convert in the future or take a fulltime with Salesforce? Any thoughts/ advise?
Always full time in the Valley. In othe places skilled contractors could make 2x. But here they are junk.

I dont agree with you that they are junk. Lots of ftes are junk too even at google
Agree. Nothing wrong with that. Benefits are worth it
Definitely Salesforce. I used to be a contractor at Google. Jumped to Salesforce Full Time and it’s way better in terms of job, benefits and pay.
Mind referring me?
Google makes it hard to get converted to full time. Take Salesforce.
Google contractors get treated like shit. You will be left out of the parties and events as a contractor at google and constantly worked more and paid less just to be dangled the hope of converting. Come to our Ohana where you are treated like family for reals. Here you can put our cute mascots into your designs and have fun. Not even being snarky about this.
You already have the google brand on your resume. If you aren’t 100% sure about getting a full time role, then I would suggest going for Salesforce.
Does contract role at google help ?
Salesforce
Thanks everyone on the responses! Update on the topic: I told my manager that got an offer with Salecforce, and now Google wants to convert me. Would you guys still go with Saleseforce in this case or decide on the company based on the better offer?
Take the best offer if you already know and like what you are gonna do at Google.
How long you’ve been consulting for google?
That’s exactly what gained to me. Was contracting for Google for a year with a promise to get converted. Google kept telling me that there is no open headcount at the moment. They found headcount in a day as soon as heard that I got an offer from Salesforce. I took Salesforce offer. Do not regret, comp is much higher. Design culture is not that great as in Google though
Take Salesforce
