I was hired under contract to hire with TEKsystems. Original hiring manager left the company. I was originally told that if I perform I don’t have to interview again. New hiring manager said he is happy with me and would like me to convert but I must go through interview loop. I believe this new manager indicated they have never had a TEKsystems contract to hire report before. TEK says the manager is ill-informed and they will try to educate the manager. Is TEK right or blowing smoke so I don’t leave? TC 200 YOE 8
TEK is blowing smoke most likely. I’m also a TEK contractor, but at Meta/FB. Most my manager can do is recommend me and get me the on-site. Conversion without loop isn’t impossible but very rare.
Whats the going rate for contractors at amazon ? I am working thru teksystems on a position and they asked expected rate ? I have 15+ yoe
I’m at 100/hr but I might be on the higher side
Thats low , considering there fte salaries !
Interview loop is standard. Since you've done well the interview loop will be really light (was a former interviewer at Amazon).
Aaaaand today they let me go with no notice. Last week my manager had said we could schedule the loop for this week but instead they are cutting contractors on the team.
That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that ): That's a really shitty thing. Hopefully you can pick up at another place for FTE!
