Working at Apple as a contractor sucks, I am starting my new gig next tuesday that lets me do 100% remote as a fte so I get all the benefits I miss out on at Apple since I don’t live where they want me to.
I'm switching from a FTE to a contractor next week (for a different company) so now I'm curious to know what exactly you didn't like about that arrangement.
I'm personally making the switch to work three days a week and focus on my own project the remaining two.
I dont get the same pay arrangement bonuses, raises, rsu etc, they get a ton of pto for holidays and I don’t, employees get tons of trainings, access to online learning accounts, tuition reimbursement, they have a much bigger health care pool i pay about $24,000/yr for health care, employee discounts on company gear, 401k matching, employee stock purchase.
My contract house offered 10 pto, 5 sick, 7 paid holidays, base salary.
