i briefly worked for a contractor company and one of the HR employees accidentally let slip that while i was making something like $20/hr, client was paying $40/hr. (not in the US) it's pretty insane. makes me wonder why clients wouldn't just poach good contractors. happier employee, happier company.

Muir posted:Companies who are hiring contractors know that they're paying more per hour than a full time employee would cost. They do it because they don't need somebody permanently, don't need somebody full-time, need expertise that they don't already have in-house, need somebody faster than they could do a full job search, or any number of other reasons. i get most of those, but at least for this (very large) contracting org the "they don't need somebody permanently" and "don't need somebody full-time" arguments don't apply, since they pretty much only do full-time long-term contracts. like, whoever wasn't a new hire had been assigned to the same companies for several years. it has to be some tax thing, because within those timeframes they could surely do normal recruiting?

recruiter: are you in talks with any other companies? you: yes. [i applied to like 200 but haven't heard back from any of them yet] you do not owe anyone more information than exactly they need

i personally have found that working in small companies is usually a bad move period. being a bigger % of the workforce means that you have a much bigger impact on the company's output, which means that any variation on your personal output will raise a lot of questions and drive higher ups into a panic much more easily. working for larger companies where you're just a small cog means you can usually take it easy and have slower days without panicking about whether you're going to get fired immediately or not. are just salt in the wound. but i digress, that's not very comp related now.

when i think "good startups" i think of something like this:  Democratic Pirate posted:In the finance/accounting world, my business school peers who went to work at startups or small businesses used it for rapid title acquisition. Now they have SVP or CFO titles on the resume and are moving into larger companies. do titles really still matter? at least in my field it's never stopped me from making more money (which again is the only thing i actually care about!). i have a lot of friends who have indeed grinded hard on their titles but it doesn't seem to make any real big difference?

don't be subby in negotiations, ever. pretend to have confidence even if you lack it speaking from experience; i am naturally meek and stuff but you're just asking to be stepped on if you do that when negotiating anything
