Currently a contractor getting 130k, have an offer (full time) with JPMC for 135K plus bonus. There's no reason for me to leave other than the two words "full time". I am only thinking about the following. My current employer confirmed they will start processing my GC (perm, labor) etc. in the next two months, where as JPMC claims they'll do it in a year's time. Good to trust - JPMC on the GC part ? PS: Do you think the package is justified for 10 yoe at JPMC ?
Do both have 401k? And what is the bonus at JPM
Think from career growth perspective. contractors are always sidelined but in FTE you can grow and can be lead in few years. FTE is always better than contracting.
Thanks!
1) Do your numbers again. Really $130K a year? Or is it more like $105K more or less, after 10 national holidays, 20 vacation days to your home country, and some more loss of pay here and there? 2) Also, in effect, all years as a Consultant will add up to 0 when switching to FTE. So yeah, I had lost 11 years and will never be a Senior Engineer any time soon. FTE >>>> Consulting..
Yeah, True. Totally agree. Just needed some reassurance.
