I've been a TVC UX designer at Google for the last year and got an offer from Salesforce for a senior product designer. Now have a choice to stay on the contract with a possibility to convert in the future or take a fulltime with Salesforce? Any thoughts/ advise?

    Always full time in the Valley. In othe places skilled contractors could make 2x. But here they are junk.

    Thanks everyone on the responses! Update on the topic: I told my manager that got an offer with Salecforce, and now Google wants to convert me. Would you guys still go with Saleseforce in this case or decide on the company based on the better offer?

    • Again, they are dangling the hope of conversion. If they tell you something like you will be converted next quarter then don’t stay because I guarantee that is bullshit. Ask for at least 20 to 30% above the salesforce offer and see how much they actually want to convert you. I still suggest salesforce cuz our mascots are cuter and promotions are pretty regular and our stock is awesome. Remember that we have an ESPP program too, which google doesn’t have at all. Also our parental benefits are better than googles if you want kids.

  • Google contractors get treated like shit. You will be left out of the parties and events as a contractor at google and constantly worked more and paid less just to be dangled the hope of converting. Come to our Ohana where you are treated like family for reals. Here you can put our cute mascots into your designs and have fun. Not even being snarky about this.

    Definitely Salesforce. I used to be a contractor at Google. Jumped to Salesforce Full Time and it’s way better in terms of job, benefits and pay.

    Google makes it hard to get converted to full time. Take Salesforce.
