Have an interview for a YouTube contract but recruiter said to “not get my hopes up about conversion” and that they never convert people. Anyone have experience they can share? TC: 125k, 6 YOE
It’s not that they never convert TVCs. It’s that it’s often just as difficult to get an FTE role regardless of being a TVC if HC opens up.
Google is well known for not converting contractors, and just extending contracts. Using contractors is how they avoid layoffs - they just don’t renew contracts when they need to reduce headcount.
