Salary for Meta contractor

Got reached out by a contracting agency about a potential Meta contractor position. He said it’s a C++ and php role for 2-3 yoe, and the salary is $62 hourly. Is it a bit low for Meta? Or normal for my YOE Also what’s the workload for Meta contractor like? I care a lot about wlb, currently working 25-30h/week at my job so should I even consider this TC: 150 #contractor

Isnt less than what you are earning now? 249 working days * 8 hours * $62 = 124k

Yeah but it’s fully remote so a big plus. And Meta has way better prestige, so if I can negotiate it up it would be a another big plus

They're laying people off. Why do they need contract devs?

Lower hourly rate, can terminate your contract at any time. So many plus sides to it for them

I meant I am looking for a contractor role in FANG

That sounds pretty low, but maybe it's your YoE. I'm currently CW at Meta making 95/hr. Your current job pays more and probably has better benefits if you're full time. I would not make the switch if I were you
