Asking for a friend. Is it worthwhile taking these positions. Roles are very interesting. Does it add on your Resume ?

    Unless your friend is desperate for a job asap, try to find FTE roles and help them prepare for those instead.

    No matter how nice the contracting roles sound, TVCs are super limited in access and exposure (for the right reasons). I don't wanna say 2nd or 3rd class citizen but you get the idea.

    Iโ€™d say itโ€™s fine. These roles open doors to convert to full-time at these big tech. Your friend can go for it unless you think heโ€™s really good and can crack an interview easily at another FAANG or tech companies.

    I would recommend continue recruiting until you get a FT offer. I work with contractors and they are super friendly and qualified but Google and FB are setup where converting to FTE will be nearly impossible.

      Itโ€™s a mix of luck plus skills to get in G and Fb so if you really want to work here contracting is the option

  • Iโ€™ll counter the narrative here. I work with a DS contractor and heโ€™s been great and is networking internally with strong visibility.

    I have a friend who is a DE contractor (through Big 4 tech consulting) and heโ€™s crushing it and getting lots of exposure internally.

    That said still always better to be FTE

    If your friend has no or little experience in tech then it's a good way to start. Otherwise go for FTE roles only
