Recently Samsung is converting contractors with GC or Citizen status into FTE. My friend works for WITCH (wipro, infosys....) contracting company now, she went from FTE at LG electronics to google TVC. Shot her a word of advice not to goto TVC since she is a citizen. However she went anyways because it was the G hoping to be converted by working hard & smart. Do you guys have any good stories where a contractor being converted to FTE at FAANG? How long before even being considered for conversion?
If she is a contractor now at Google, tell her to access this internal link: “go/conversioncandidates”. She might be a bit disappointed to see Google has banned TVC conversions.
Nothing stops the person from applying just as anyone would. Having the hiring manager in your corner because they're familiar with your work as a TVC is huge.
Yes, nothing stops them from applying. But having a hiring manager support is not that big of a deal as you think. I’ve been that hiring manager for a TVC I tried to convert just recently. I even wrote detailed statements of support almost similar to a promo packet. But it turned out hiring committee will not even take a look at those. All they can see now is the onsite feedback and referral, same as all other external candidates. Needless to say, my TVC did not get hired because of poor performance in her onsites.
Sam multiple people converted in 6-12 months at FB and LinkedIn
