Contractor to Salaried - Happen often?
Considering a contract position at an Apple affiliated company. How often do roles like these lead to working internally?
I’m currently a contractor, it’s basically no chance of being converted. The positions they hire contractors for are meant to always be contract positions. But the work is interesting and the name on my resume has really helped.
Happens often enough at Microsoft
I converted from contract to FT last year. Tier 1 vendors have an agreement in place that prohibits hiring within a year, but I worked with a tier 2. It was mutually discussed and agreed by both sides that we wanted FT.
A friend of mine started as a contractor at Apple in a software engineering role. Got converted to FT after a year.
That’ll depend on the hiring manager.
It simply depends on whether the org has any open reqs or not. It’s hard to find good people. Really, really hard. If you’re good and want in, most will happily convert you rather than initiate or continue a multi months long process of interviewing a bunch of mediocre people, wasting their engineers time.
Definitely happens. Depends on the org and if they have open req slots.
Most likely won't happen
From my understanding, it does not happen often. Friend was a contractor for a year at Apple, did not convert to full time when her contract expired. She got stellar reviews throughout her time there.
