Facebook contract to hire vs staying
Got contacted by a recruiter from TEKsystems for a Facebook 6 month contract to hire SWE role. Is this worth pursuing? TC: not enough YOE: 1
Possibly if it can turn to FTE. Check what the FT conversion/contract to hire clause is. Do your due diligence too and don’t take things entirely at face value.
What team are you joining? There are a few teams that are notoriously hard to get converted. They will either extend you for over a year or not convert altogether.
Be careful. Last I checked, there is no such thing as contract-to-hire at Facebook. All SWE contractors still need to go through the full interview loop if they want to become FTE.
The contract position still has 4 and they are hard as full-time haha. The only difference is app criti and white board session. Contract is 4 interviews with different stakeholders portfolio review.
Hi did you convert ?
Oh wow. Had no clue TEKsystems are working with them.
