Senior SWE from eBay interviewing here and expecting over $150k base. Is a contractor at eBay. How much do contractors make there?
Contractors get paid more than employees but they don’t have benefits and job stability.
Does the contracting company not take away a lot of that high pay?
The portion the contractor company cuts depends on how good the engineer is as the negotiation can vary a lot. The company could cut 10-70% of what is being billed.

Contractors dont get stocks. Base is the only thing they get. So try to educate him/her about RSUs and negotiate the base.
