Contractor to FTE @Amazon

Yes. I know two such examples .

You have to go through the same process though

It's easier to be an FTE through the contractor route.

Yes, bar is very low and I even think some HMs collude to hire contractors.

I've also seen two contractors convert to FTEs. Much much lower bar. Bar raiser essentially deferred to hiring manager after the manager said that they would "accept the risk". so much for being data driven.

Are you a contractor now?

I am and was wondering the same thing... And also if and when you crossover is the base salary negotiable?

Late to this conversation but is this still possible in 2024? I am a contractor and appreciate any advice on how to start the conversion conversation 🙏
