Hello, Was offered a contract TPM position in Azure MS. Anyone accepted a contract role with Microsoft? Is it worth joining? Any insights will be appreciated. TIA #microsoft #TPM
Where did you find the contract role?
What is the hourly rate?
I did a contract with the windows design team. They told us they were looking to hire ppl full time… unfortunately this was months ago and the tech sector had crazy lay offs. If this didn’t happen I think FTE would have def happened. Long story short talk to the manager or the hiring company that got you the contract. I was paid $70 per hour I believe or about 150k per year if I can recall correctly. Loved the gig. Hope it works out!
Don't give up a FTE role for a contract position in this economy.
Depends on the team, but ask about conversion process before joining. One of the contractors on my team went through full interview loop 2-3 months after jogging and rejoined as fte.
Hey thanks for the info. They mentioned it’s going to be a contract for now. They may extend it depending upon business requirements. There one TPM already working on contract in the same team. He mentioned that it’s difficult to convert to FTE. Can I apply for a FT role as a contractor?
In my team you can ask the manager and they’ll put you through the interview process. If he specifically told you that it is difficult, I’d advise against taking a contract role leaving your full time role
