Potential contract turned into full-time offer. Salary?
May 8, 2019

Hello,
A staffing firm connected me with company X. The staffing firm said the staffing firm would give me $110-120k. After the interview with company X, the VP called me a unicorn and said they just want to hire me full-time instead of a 6 month contract to hire through the staffing agency.
Where do you think my final salary should lie? How should I negotiate with company X? I know what the staffing company would have given me.
I asked the recruiter for advice, and he said they don't think company X will be able to match the offer the staffing company gave (that doesn't make much sense to me). Cut out the middle man.
Advice?
Current TC: 105k. Midwest.

In any case it kinda seems like the company is stingy and trying to keep the staffing firm out of the loop (for finder's fee) after they helped them find you. Not indicative of a standard firm. In large companies vendor mgmt doesn't let any company internals talk to the potential consultant.
