Microsoft SRE, offered job by Oracle today

Mar 21 4 Comments

I'm an SRE II at Microsoft with TC of ~265k.

Today I was offered a contract-to-hire position at Oracle.

6 months @ $156.25/hr (325k per year, W2 not 1099)

Convert to $330k salary after 6 months.

This is obviously a risk, but sounds pretty legit.

I'd be working with technologies I prefer (Linux, kubernetes, python), vs all the Windows stuff I'm currently doing.

I know the benefits will be crap when I'm a contractor, but I'm thinking I can tough it out for 6 months to get a minimum of 65k boost in TC, probably more with benefits etc on top of that much higher base salary.

Please let me know your thoughts! How much of a risk is going to contract-to-hire? I live in Seattle and this is a job that requires security clearance which gives me some leverage in ensuring my conversion as it's hard to find candidates with this clearance level.
