Google UX Contractor or Verizon UX FTE?

May 7, 2021 23 Comments

Not sure which one to choose. I heard it’s almost impossible to convert at Google.

Verizon(Blue Jeans): Base $120k, No RSU first year.
Google: $83/Hour.

Both in the Bay Area.
YOE: 3

Currently Contractor at Facebook.

    I would contract at G. $83/hr is like 160k a year. Use that time to kill it and learn as much as possible.
    Worst case scenario - they don’t hire you but you can use that to apply for other companies.

    Best case scenario - they convert you because you’re solid or you hear about FTE opportunities internally and use all the things you’ve learned to apply and do well on the interview.

    @op - I contracted at google and use google on my LinkedIn/resume, just say you contracted there, probably more helpful than having Verizon on it 😂

  • Verizon for sure. Does Facebook convert UX contracts?

    This was my old post, so not sure how many people can still see this but my bet back then paid off. I am joining Google full time in 2 weeks.

    New TC: $230,000

      thanks for sharing this, I’m also considering taking on a google contract offer, do you think I should bring the full time conversion conversation right now or did you wait until the end of your contract to make the talk?

    I heard that sometimes they don’t let contractors at Google use the Google name on your resume. Just something to figure out if it’s something that’s important to you
